Meanwhile, the total incidence of taxes on petrol has come down to 50 per cent and that on diesel to 40 per cent following a reduction in excise duty by the central government, and by a slightly higher proportion in states that have also cut local sales tax or VAT on the fuel.
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 slipped amid concerns over rising coronavirus cases in Europe. Brent futures fell 37 cents, or 0.45 per cent, to $82.01 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slid 44 cents, or 0.55 per cent, to $79.30 a barrel.
