How petrol and diesel prices work in India

There is no one petrol price for India. Oil companies revise city retail prices, typically daily, based on international oil, the rupee, central excise, and state VAT. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and a district town can all differ on the same morning.

Janooji is not printing a made-up 'petrol price today' table. When a live city feed is connected, it will show the city, fuel type, rupee/litre, and a timestamp.
