As a result, petrol prices in the national capital were slashed by Rs 8.56 per litre from Thursday. One litre of petrol now costs Rs 95.41 from Rs 103.97 earlier, however, diesel prices were kept unchanged at Rs 86.67 in Delhi.

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.

Earlier in the day, oil prices climbed more than $2 a barrel after producer group OPEC+ said it could review its policy to hike output at short notice if a rising number of pandemic lockdowns chokes off demand.

Brent futures rose 21 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to settle at $69.88 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude ended 24 cents, or 0.4 per cent, lower at $66.26.
