(The price of petrol and diesel in the four metros in rupees per litre)
The domestic fuel prices are broadly determined by the rupee-dollar exchange rate and international crude oil prices.
In forex markets, the rupee inched up 4 paise to 70.73 against the dollar in early trade on Tuesday, following increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. However, weak domestic equity market and rising crude prices capped gains for the rupee, according to analysts.
Globally, oil prices steadied on Tuesday as investors kept an eye on USÂ inventory data due later, following two days of gains on positive economic data and hopes for a Washington-Beijing trade deal.
