Oil marketing companies (OMCs) kept petrol and diesel prices unchanged across major cities on Friday, with minor changes made only in case of select places. In fact, fuel rates have stayed largely uniform since May 21 last year, when the previous pan-India revision to petrol and diesel prices was made.

OMCs (Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, Indian Oil) review fuel prices daily, a practice that began in June 2017. The rates, whether revised or unchanged, are announced at 6am on the following day.
