Petrol and diesel rates have recorded an upswing since January 6, 2021 after staying unchanged for almost a month. Fuel rates have increased amid a rally in global crude oil prices, with coronavirus vaccination drives beginning across the world.Â
Oil marketing companies  - Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum align the prices of domestic fuel with global benchmarks, by taking into account any changes in the foreign exchange rates. Any alterations in fuel prices are implemented with effect from 6 am every day. The fuel rates vary from state to state across the country due to the value-added tax or VAT.
Meanwhile, oil prices rose about 1 per cent on on Tuesday, January 27 as optimism around U.S. stimulus plans and some supply concerns boosted futures, but demand worries prompted by coronavirus lockdowns limited gains.
Brent crude futures rose 47 cents, or 0.9 per cent, to settle at $55.88 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude ended 50 cents, or 1 per cent, higher at $52.77 a barrel.
