OMCs have preferred to maintain their watch prices on the global oil situation before making any revision in prices.

In Mumbai, the petrol price was stable at Rs 107.26 per litre while diesel rate increased to about Rs 96.40 a litre.
Across the country as well petrol price remained static on Friday while diesel price increased marginally.
