Why haven’t prices changed?
Petrol and diesel prices in the Indian market depend on various factors. These include global crude oil prices, the rupee’s exchange rate against the dollar, freight costs, and taxes levied by both central and state governments. While there may have been some volatility in global crude oil prices recently, oil companies have not made any changes to retail prices for the time being.
When are prices released daily?
For reference, Indian petroleum companies release petrol and diesel rates daily at 6:00 AM. If there is any change in prices, the new rates come into effect from that same time on the same day.
A few days ago, when crude oil prices skyrocketed, Indian petroleum companies took a major decision and implemented a massive hike in petrol and diesel prices. This had a significant impact on the pockets of ordinary citizens.
