In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) – Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, Indian Oil – decide petrol and diesel prices, doing so on daily basis; the daily review practice began in June 2017. The rates, whether revised or unchanged, are announced at 6am each day.
Also, fuel prices vary from state-to-state. This is due to factors such as value-added tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, among others.
