Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), India Oil Corporation (IOCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) revise the rate of fuel daily at 6 am, if there any any updates, as per international benchmarks and foreign exchange rates.

Oil prices slipped on Monday as concerns about fuel demand at top global oil consumers in the U.S. and China offset optimism about tightening supplies from any OPEC cuts and a resumption in U.S. buying for reserves.

Last week, both benchmarks fell for a fourth consecutive week, the longest streak of weekly declines since September 2022, over concern that the United States could enter a recession on "significant risk" of a historic default within the first two weeks of June.
