The retail prices of the fuels are determined broadly by the international crude oil prices and the rupee-dollar exchange rate.
Crude oil prices steadied on Friday as sluggish economic growth in China, the world's biggest crude importer, raised concerns over fuel demand and countered optimism from the signing of a China-US trade deal. Brent crude futures - the global benchmark for crude oil - rose by 23 cents to $64.85 a barrel.Â
The rupee weakened by 15 paise to settle at 71.08 against the US dollar on Friday, declining for a second straight day.
