Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation account for a majority of petrol and diesel stations in the country. The companies align the domestic rates with global benchmarks by taking into account changes in foreign exchange levels. Due to the local taxes, crude oil prices vary in different cities across India.
Here are the prices of petrol and diesel in the four metros (in rupees per litre) :

Meanwhile, U.S. crude futures fell in early trade on Thursday, giving up some of gains from the previous day as surging COVID-19 cases and widening lockdowns raised fears over fuel demand, offsetting further upbeat vaccine news.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 39 cents, or 0.9 per cent, to $41.43 a barrel by 0039 GMT, after gaining nearly 1 per cent on Wednesday. Brent crude was yet to trade, having risen 1.4 per cent on Wednesday.
