The domestic petrol and diesel rates vary across states due to the value-added tax. The oil marketing companies - Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil Corporation, as well as Hindustan Petroleum align the prices of domestic fuel with the global benchmarks, by taking into account any changes in the foreign exchange rates. Any changes in fuel rates are implemented with effect from 6 am each day.
Meanwhile, oil prices bounced back on Friday from a plunge a day earlier on concerns that a large container ship that ran aground in the Suez Canal may block the vital shipping lane for weeks, squeezing supply.
Brent crude was higher by 43 cents, or 0.7 per cent, at $62.38 a barrel by 0028 GMT, after dropping 3.8 per cent on Thursday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was up49 cents, or 0.8 per cent, at $59.05 a barrel, having tumbled 4.3 per cent a day earlier.
Both benchmarks were on track for a weekly loss of more than 3 per cent, following a more than 6 per cent decline last week.
The trapped container ship is blocking traffic in the Suez Canal, one of the world's busiest shipping channels for oil and refined fuels, grain and other trade between Asia and Europe.
