GRAPH-4 & 5 Common countries under shaded area: Pakistan, Nigeria, India, Srilanka, Egypt, Algeria, China, Thailand, Azerbaijan, SouthAfrica, Mexico, Venezuela, Russia and Brazil. KSA is IN/OUT of shaded area because of Inflation rate. Countries with higher GPD, can afford higher Gasoline rates, but their inflation %tile is among the lowest. KSAs GDP is proportional to Inflation and Gasoline rate is among the lowest. Few oil-producing countries though among higher Inflation %tile but have lower Gasoline rates.

GRAPH-7 Indias rise in Petrol / Diesel is linked to USD/INR rate and World Crude rates (esp. OPEC); but fall in Crude rates does not affect rising Petrol rates in India. China is known to reduce their Gasoline rate with fall in World Crude rates. Ration proportion wise in terms of Oil-Production/Consumption, Oil-Imports/Exports; India and China shares similar graph. Why not the GDP?

GRAPH-8/9 Oil consumption is higher than Oil Production. Though the upward Polynomial trend shows India on a slight downward slope, but Graph-11 plots India towards the centre of Polynomial trend depicting rise in Petrol rate in future.

GRAPH-10/11 Oil imports are very high than Oil exports. Why do India need to Export Oil when the country is not able to meet local Oil demand? Graph-11 plots India towards the centre of Polynomial trend depicting rise in Petrol rate in future.

GRAPH-13

GRAPH-12/13 Plots CCY stronger (graph-12) and CCY weaker (graph-13) against USD. There is appreciation in both the cases. India would see USD/INR appreciation-(Avg.$1=Rs.50/-). Our foreign currency and Gold treasury hold GOOD, among highest in World rating. Debts are highest.

GRAPH-14 Does Indias Oil-Imports and Exports has anything to do with rise in Petrol in India?

Rise in World Crude Oil Rates. Withdrawal of Foreign Funds from Indias Stock Market. Weakening of USD/INR. Rise of Petrol in India. Rise in Inflation Rise in Corruption Bridge between Richer and Poorer widens. Indias GDP projection is not actual, but is still lower! I do not see the impact of GDP of USD1371 on Middle-Class / Lower-Middle Class group. Essentials commodities are still dearer to majority of Indias population.

GRAPH-15 Compare only India and China. Very similar but Chinas GDP is almost double. Chinas open market policy, biggest lender in World; could the reason of Chinas flooding Worlds market and Worlds economy is pouring into China.
