Petrol and diesel rates were again cut as part of a new system of daily price changes in petroleum products, in a shift from fortnightly price revisions. Today, a litre of petrol in Delhi would cost Rs. 65.23 and diesel will be sold at Rs. 54.32. Three PSU oil marketing companies - Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum - revises the prices based on average international crude oil and foreign exchange rates. Indian Oil has said the daily price revision is an initiative to ensure the best possible prices to the customers as well as improved transparency in the pricing mechanism.
