In India, the domestic petrol and diesel prices are reviewed by oil marketing companies on a daily basis. Since June 2017, fuel prices in India are revised daily at 6 am every day. Before this prices were revised every fortnight. 

The demand of petrol and diesel has slumped by around 66% in April during lockdown. The stability in the prices can have attributed to the reduction of crude oil rates internationally. The fuel prices are dependent on the international crude prices and the rupee-US dollar exchange rate as India imports almost 80 per cent of its crude requirements.
