OMCs: Shares of oil marketing companies (OMCs), Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) will be on investors' radar on Friday, May 15, as the government has increased fuel prices due to the West Asian crisis that began at the end of February 2026.

On Friday, petrol and diesel prices were increased by ₹3 per litre after state-owned oil firms ended a four-year record hiatus in rate revision.

The petrol price has been hiked to ₹97.77 per litre from ₹94.77 in the national capital. Diesel now costs ₹90.67 per litre, up from ₹89.67 previously, according to a PTI report.

State-owned oil firms had kept fuel prices unchanged for 11 weeks despite a surge in input cost but passed on part of the increase once operations became financially unsustainable, the PTI report said, quoting sources.
