OMCs go on pause mode, petrol, diesel prices remain unchanged on Saturday

Petrol and diesel prices in the country remained unchanged on Saturday as oil marketing companies (OMCs) decided to pause the daily revision process and closely study global oil price movement before effecting any change in the domestic market.

Accordingly, petrol price remained at previous days level of Rs 91.27 a litre and diesel Rs 81.73 a litre in the national capital.

Across the country as well, the petrol and diesel price remained static on Saturday but its price levels varied depending on the level of local levies in respective states.

Petrol prices in some states have breached the Rs 100 per litre mark, while premium petrol has been hovering above that level for some time now.
