  "summary": "Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on September 18, as oil marketing companies (OMCs) revise prices daily based on factors such as international crude oil prices, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, taxes, and local levies. CNG prices, however, varied across cities, with Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Kolkata having higher rates. Petrol pump dealers are seeking an exemption from a new charge on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions, warning that their thin margins may make it difficult to absorb the additional cost.",
