In India, state-owned oil marketing companies like Indian Oil (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) revise fuel prices every day at 6 am based on the international crude oil benchmark (Brent crude) and the exchange rate of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. The final retail price for the consumer is decided after adding the excise duty of the central government, local VAT of the states and commission of petrol pump dealers.
