As per the daily dynamic pricing regime, domestic fuel prices depend on international fuel prices on a 15-day average, besides the value of the rupee. This is because a large proportion of country's requirement is met through imports.
State-run oil marketing companies Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum revise fuel prices with effect from 6 am on a daily basis. The government allowed revision of fuel rates on a daily basis since mid-June last year to reflect changes in costs instantly.
Globally, oil prices slumped more than 6 per cent to the lowest in more than a year on Friday amid fears of a supply glut even as major producers consider cutting output, reported news agency Reuters.Ā
Brent crude fell $3.13, or 5 per cent, to $59.47 a barrel in intraday trade, after earlier touching $58.41, its lowest since October 2017.
