No REVISION in fuel prices on Monday, a day after price cut; check 6th September petrol, diesel PRICES

The oil marketing companies (OMCs) have kept pump prices of auto fuels -- petrol and diesel -- unchanged on Monday, a day after reducing retail rates by 15 paise per litre, to wait and watch the global oil situation before making fitter changes.

Accordingly, the price of petrol and diesel remains unchanged at Rs 101.19 and Rs 88.62 per litre in Delhi, as per Indian Oil Corporation, the country`s largest fuel retailer.

In Mumbai, the petrol price is stable at Rs 107.26 per litre on Monday while diesel rates also remain unchanged at Rs 96.19 a litre.

Across the country as well petrol and diesel prices remained static on Monday, but their retail rates varied depending on the level of local taxes in a particular state.

Under the pricing formula adopted by oil companies, rates of petrol and diesel are to be reviewed and revised on a daily basis. The new prices become effective from the morning at 6 a.m.

The daily review and revision of prices are based on the average price of benchmark fuel in the international market in the preceding 15-days, and foreign exchange rates.

Fuel consumers can expect fuel prices to remain unchanged or get some relief by way of a cut in days ahead as global oil is expected to remain soft. Oil cartel OPEC and its allies have agreed to gradually raise production levels that should prevent the upward price movement. The concerns on demand due to the pandemic are also affecting oil prices.
