Public sector OMCs like Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) revise the fuel prices regularly. The price revisions made by the OMCs are influenced by factors like benchmark international crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates. Petrol and diesel price revisions made by these OMCs are implemented with effect from 6 am daily.
Fuel price revision varies from state to state. The prices of petrol and diesel differ across the states in the country since it is influenced by factors like local taxes, VAT (Value Added Tax), freight charges, among others.
Meanwhile, international crude oil prices tumbled more than one percent on Monday, according to Reuters. The drop in international crude oil prices also extended the previous day’s declines. This comes at a time when multiple coronavirus lockdowns take place in top oil importer China, a strong dollar and growing recession risks federal worries about the outlook for global demand.
