Fuel prices in India are set and revised by Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) on a daily basis. The prices are revised on international crude oil prices in the global market and the foreign exchange rates. Apart from OMCs, the fuel price also varies within the country from one state to another. This happens because petrol and diesel prices depend on several local factors that affect their cost. The fuel price in a state depends on freight charges and local taxes (VAT).
