Why was there a change in fuel prices?

In recent times, there has been an impact on fuel prices due to the rise in international crude oil prices and under-recovery of oil marketing companies. According to the Petroleum Ministry, crude oil prices have reached high levels in the international market, due to which there is financial pressure on oil companies.

However, it is a matter of relief that the price revision every day at 6 am is released in a transparent manner so that consumers can easily know the exact and correct rates of their city.
