Oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Friday kept fuel rates unchanged across the country, which means that since May 21 last year, there has been no pan-India revision to petrol and diesel prices.
Last week, on June 11, however, the Punjab government revised the value-added tax (VAT) on fuel, which meant that a litre each of petrol and diesel in the state became costlier by 93 paise and 89 paise respectively.
