Both of the major vehicular fuels experienced their last and only price change in the previous month on May 22, after Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced an 8-rupee reduction in petrol excise duty and a 6-rupee reduction in diesel excise duty on May 21. Following this, petrol price was reduced by Rs 8.69 and diesel price was cut by Rs 7.05 in the national capital.

Generally, the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) decide on daily changes to the price of petrol and diesel by taking into account the benchmark fuel’s average price in the international market over the previous 15 days as well as foreign exchange rates.

In the international market, oil prices fell on Wednesday after rising in the previous three sessions as the market tussled between concerns about the global economy and tight global oil supplies, news agency Reuters reported.
