Petrol and Diesel Prices Steady Across Major Indian Cities Amid Global Oil Fluctuations
Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on October 16 and 17, despite fluctuating global crude oil prices amid Middle East tensions. While international oil benchmarks like Brent and WTI saw mixed movements, domestic fuel rates stayed steady due to state-run oil companies' pricing policies. CNG prices increased in some locations on October 16. Fuel prices vary regionally due to local taxes and charges, with daily revisions based on international averages and currency rates.
