The retail price of petrol and diesel in the country is revised by public sector OMCs like Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL). Changes made in the prices of petrol and diesel are implemented with effect from 6AM daily. The revision of fuel retail price depends on several factors including foreign exchange rates, international crude oil prices, global inflation among others. Price of petrol and diesel also varies across the states, due to local factors like state taxes, VAT (Value Added Tax), freight charges, among others.
