State-run oil refiners such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum revise the fuel rates on a daily basis, by taking into account the crude oil prices in the international markets, and the rupee-dollar exchange rates. Any changes in petrol and diesel prices are implemented with effect from 6 am every day.
Globally, oil prices fell as investors cashed in profits from the 2 per cent gains in the previous session after the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated an interest rate hike in March, leading to a technical correction in surging energy markets. Brent crude futures slipped 31 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $89.65 a barrel, after jumping about 2 per cent to hit $90 for the first time in seven years on Wednesday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures also eased 26 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $87.09 a barrel, after gaining 2 per cent in the previous session.
