In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum revise fuel prices on daily basis, doing so by considering the international crude oil rates. The prices, whether new or unchanged, are announced at 6 am each day.

Also, the rates vary from state-to-state. This is due to factors such as Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, etc.
