State-run oil refineries such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum change fuel prices on a daily basis, taking into account international crude oil prices and rupee-dollar exchange rates. Every day at 6 a.m., any modifications in petrol and diesel prices take effect. Oil prices fell globally, taking a break from a steady rise driven by strong demand in the United States, the world's largest consumer of oil and its products. Brent crude was trading at $85.79 a barrel, down 20 cents or 0.2%. Oil in the United States was down 21 cents, or 0.3%, to $83.55 a barrel.
