The fuel prices are revised by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) on a regular basis and are determined by factors like crude oil prices in the global market as well as the exchange rates. Petrol and diesel prices differ in each state in India. The final retail prices are finalised after the state adds local taxes, VAT and freight charges, among others.

Globally, economic data from China, which is currently the world’s largest crude importer, has moved crude oil prices to fall further because of concerns about a potential global recession.
