Petrol and diesel prices┬аhave┬аrecorded┬аan upswing since January 6, 2021 after staying unchanged for almost a month. The fuel rates┬аhave increased amid a┬аrally in global crude oil prices, with COVID-19 vaccination drives beginning across the world.┬а
Oil marketing companies ┬а– Indian Oil Corporation,┬аBharat Petroleum, and┬аHindustan Petroleum align the prices of domestic fuel┬аwith the global benchmarks, by taking into account any changes┬аin the foreign exchange rates. Any changes in fuel prices are implemented┬аwith effect from 6 am every day.
Meanwhile, oil prices rose again on Wednesday, extending their more than week-long rally after industry data showing a fall in U.S. crude oil stocks added to optimism about an expected rise in global fuel demand.
Brent crude was up by 11 cents, or 0.2 per cent at $61.20 by 0110 GMT after rising nearly 1 per cent on Tuesday, when it touched a 13-month high. U.S. crude added 2 cents to $58.28.
