On Monday, the day before Independence Day, oil marketing companies (OMCs) have kept petrol and diesel prices unchanged across most major cities. In fact, fuel rates have been largely constant since May 21 last year, when the previous pan-nation revision to these was carried out.

In India, petrol and diesel prices are reviewed daily by the OMCs, namely Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, and Indian Oil. The rates, whether same or revised, are announced at 6am each day.
