Petrol, Diesel Prices Updated Across Indian Cities on August 19
Every day, companies that sell petrol and diesel change the prices.
They do this based on how much oil costs around the world and how the value of money changes.
Right now, the prices haven't changed much since 2022 because the government lowered some taxes.
You can find out the prices in your city by sending a text message to your fuel provider.
The cost of fuel depends on things like the price of oil, the value of the Indian rupee, taxes, and how much it costs to make fuel.
Petrol and diesel prices are updated daily by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) at 6 AM.
Fuel prices are influenced by global crude oil prices and currency exchange rates.
Prices have remained unchanged since May 2022 due to tax reductions.
