The rates were held steady for over four months despite the spike in crude oil prices amid assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur.
State-run oil refiners such as Indian Oil Corp, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum revise the fuel rates on a daily basis, by taking into account the crude oil prices in the international markets, and the rupee-dollar exchange rates. Any changes in fuel prices are implemented with effect from 6 am every day.
India is 85 per cent dependent on imports to meet its oil needs and, the domestic petrol and diesel prices are linked to international rates.
Globally, oil prices also ticked lower on demand worries as coronavirus lockdowns in China, the top oil importer, continued. Brent crude slipped 0.5 per cent to $105.4 a barrel today after falling 5.7 per cent on Monday.
