Domestic petrol and diesel vary from state to state due to local taxes. Currently, state-run oil marketing companies - such as Indian Oil Corporation and Bharat Petroleum Corporation - review the prices of petrol and diesel on a daily basis. Any revisions are implemented at fuel stations with effect from 6 am.
Meanwhile, international oil prices fell on Friday, pressured by tensions between the US and China, but some supportive economic data in Europe tempered losses. Brent crude futures - the global benchmark for crude oil - declined 0.79 per cent to $42.97 per barrel.
The rupee ended at 74.82 against the US dollar earlier that day, having recovered 2.72 per cent from an all-time low registered in April but still down 4.85 per cent so far in 2020.Â
