Petrol and diesel rates are revised daily at 6 am by prominent oil marketing companies like IOCL, HPCL and BP. These companies decide the oil prices which is overseen by the ministry of petroleum and natural gas's petroleum planning and analysis cell.
Earlier, the fuel prices were revised after 15 days. In 2014, the Centre de-regulated fuel prices. Since 2017, the petrol and diesel prices are revised daily. Petrol prices in states come under VAT which is charged by the state government. Since every state has different VAT, hence the pricing differs.
