Prices of the two fuels have remained unchanged from May 21 when Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slashed excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 and reduced excise duty levied on diesel sales by Rs 6. Following this announcement, the retail price of petrol was reduced by Rs 8.69 per litre and the cost of diesel was cut by Rs 7.05 per litre in the national capital city on May 22.
Public sector OMCs like Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise fuel prices in India. Revisions made by the OMCs in fuel prices are implemented from 6 am every day. Fuel prices are influenced by several factors including foreign exchange rates and international crude oil prices in the global market. The retail price of petrol and diesel differs from state to state within the country because of factors like local taxes like VAT or freight charges.
