Meanwhile, fuel costs have remained steady for the past 27 days. On November 4, the government lowered excise duty on gasoline and diesel, bringing rates back down from record-high levels.
According to the Indian Oil Corporation, petrol costs 103.97 rupees in Delhi, while diesel costs 86.67 rupees. Petrol is sold for 109.98 a litre in Mumbai, while diesel is supplied for 94.14 per litre.
Mumbai has the highest fuel prices among metro cities. Because of the value-added tax, or VAT, the rates differ by state.
State-run oil refineries such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum adjust fuel prices on a daily basis, taking into account international crude oil prices and rupee-dollar exchange rates.
As major producers prepared to negotiate how to respond to the possibility of a cut to fuel demand from the Omicron type, oil prices gained more than 2% globally, recouping some of the sharp losses from the previous session.
After a 3.9 percent drop on Tuesday, Brent crude futures rose ₹1.90, or 2.7 percent, to $71.13 a barrel. After a 5.4 percent plunge on Tuesday, US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained ₹1.71, or 2.6 percent, to ₹67.89 a barrel.
