The fuel rates are revised by oil marketing companies on a daily basis. The fact that India imports 85 per cent of its fuel demand, any surge in cost per barrel has a direct bearing on the prices in India. Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum announce the revised prices at 6 am every day. The fuel costs vary from state to state because of local and value-added taxes.
As on October 20, the Brent crude was trading at $84.53 per barrel, which is lower than the $84.84 per barrel it was trading at four days ago. Oil marketing companies have been passing on to the people the bulk of the cost burden on account of fluctuations in the international benchmark Brent crude.
