New Delhi: Fuel prices were unchanged on Tuesday by the oil marketing companies.

Petrol and diesel prices that remained unchanged for 48 days, saw a rate revision on November 20 (Friday), as state-run oil marketing companies hiked fuel prices.

Rates differ from state to state depending on the incidence of VAT. Taxes make up for nearly two-third of the retail selling price.
