How are fuel prices calculated in India?
Oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil and Hindustan Petroleum review fuel prices on a daily basis; rates, whether revised or unchanged, are implemented at 6 am each day. These are calculated by taking into account factors such as the price of crude oil in the international market, etc.
