The previous pan-India revision to fuel prices was made on May 21 last year. Since then, except in individual cases, petrol and diesel rates have remained steady. In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum review fuel prices on daily basis; changes, if any, are made, in accordance with the price of crude oil throughout the world.
The rates, whether new or unchanged, are implemented at 6 am each day. Also, these vary from state-to-state; this is due to criteria such as Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes etc.
