In Kolkata, customers must pay ₹106.03 and ₹92.76 for one litre of petrol and diesel respectively. In Chennai, on the other hand, petrol is at ₹102.63 per litre, and diesel, ₹94.24 per litre.

In India, oil marketing companies (Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, Indian Oil) review petrol and diesel prices, doing so on a daily basis. The rates, whether new or constant, are announced at 6am each day.
It must also be noted that fuel prices vary from state-to-state. This is because of factors such as value-added tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes etc.
