On Monday, petrol and diesel prices have undergone minor revision in some places, even as these continue to be largely constant across major cities. In fact, fuel rates have been steady since May 21 last year, when the previous country-wide revision took place.
In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) – Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, and Indian Oil – review fuel prices daily. The rates, whether new or unchanged – are implemented at 6am each day.
