How are petrol prices determined in India?

The petrol and diesel prices are revised daily at 6 am, which is called dynamic pricing method. The oil prices are determined by oil companies like IOCL, BP & HPCL. They are not controlled by the government, and need to adjust their prices according to global rates.

Earlier, the central government used to control the fuel prices which were revised after every 15 days. But the fuel prices were de-regulared in 2014. Since 2017, the petrol and diesel prices are revised daily.
