Currently, petrol and diesel prices are reviewed on a daily basis by oil marketing companies and any changes are implemented at the fuel pumps with effect from 6 am.
The domestic rates of petrol and diesel are adjusted taking into account factors such as global crude oil prices and the rupee-dollar foreign exchange rates.
Crude oil fell more than 5 per cent for the week, logging its second consecutive weekly decline. Brent futures fell 5.7 per cent for the week, its biggest weekly drop since July. WTI lost 5.5 per cent for the week, also its steepest fall since July.
Saudi Arabia's energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, said Thursday the world's top crude oil exporter had fully restored oil output after attacks on its facilities last month knocked out more than 5 per cent of global oil supply.
