The changes will be made from Tuesday (1 October).<br /><br />India deregulated gasoline prices in June 2010.<br /><br />In January, India allowed fuel retailers to raise the price of subsidised diesel in small amounts every month and asked bulk buyers to pay market rates.<br /><br />Three state-run fuel retailers - IOC, Bharat Petroleum Corp and Hindustan Petroleum Corp - tend to move their prices together.<br /><br />Following are prices as charged by IOC in Delhi.
