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.
