These taxes make up for 60 per cent of the retail selling price of petrol and over 54 per cent of diesel. The fuel prices are generally revised on a daily basis in tandem with the benchmark international price and foreign exchange rates.

In the international markets, oil prices rose on Friday after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) trimmed its oil demand growth forecast for this year by 300,000 bpd owing to renewed coronavirus disease (Covid-19) lockdowns, according to news agency Reuters. This was done with the aim to support prices and reduce oversupply. Oil also grew because of US President Joe Biden Biden’s $2.3 trillion spending plan which aims to invest in traditional projects, such as roads and bridges, alongside tackling climate change. Although, an unexpected rise in the US claims for unemployment benefits moderated market sentiments.
