Oil marketing companies seem to be moving towards a revised fuel price revision mechanism, shifting to the practice of changing petrol and fuel rates every alternate day rather than undertaking changes on a daily basis.
In the last few days, pump prices of petrol and diesel have been revised every alternate day but the practice had not helped consumers as even under this system prices have only moved up making the fuel dearer.
On Monday, OMCs kept retail price of petrol and diesel unchanged. So petrol still costs Rs 92.58 per litre and diesel Rs 83.22 per litre in Delhi, the same as previous day.
