Petrol and diesel prices in the country are revised by public sector OMCs like Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL). Any changes made in the prices of petrol and diesel are implemented with effect from 6AM daily. The revision of fuel price depends on several factors including foreign exchange rates, international crude oil prices, among others.
