On Friday, petrol and diesel prices are largely constant across the country, even as minor revision has been made for some cities. In India, fuel costs are revised on a daily basis, by oil marketing companies (OMCs), who announce the rates – whether new or same –at 6am each day.
The previous pan-nation revision to fuel prices was made on May 21 last year. Since then, except in individual cases, the rates of petrol and diesel have remained constant, including in most major cities.
