Shares of oil market companies witnessed strong buying interest after petroleum minister M Veerappa Moily announced a go ahead for oil marketing companies to raise diesel prices. “For now, there's no revision in the prices of diesel. But the companies are authorized to make price revision from time to time,” Moily said today.
