State-run Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation - which account for the majority of fuel stations in the country - currently review the petrol and diesel prices in different parts of the country on a daily basis.
The three oil companies implement any changes in the fuel prices every day with effect from 6 am.
Currently, petrol and diesel prices vary in different parts of the country due to factors such as crude oil and foreign exchange rates, and local taxes.
On Friday, the rupee gained by 56 paise to end at a nearly six-month high of 73.40 against the dollar, whereas Brent crude - the global benchmark for crude oil - climbed up 0.46 per cent to settle at $45.81 per barrel.
