In fact, fuel rates in the country have been largely steady since May 21 last year, when the previous pan-nation revision took place.
In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) – Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, Indian Oil – review petrol and diesel prices daily. 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 charges, etc.
For this, Indian Oil customers must type RSP along with their city code, and send an SMS to 9224992249. The same format is to be used for Bharat Petroleum, but the SMS is to be sent on 9223112222. Hindustan Petroleum customers, on the other hand, must send HPPrice and their city code to 9222201122.
