cent, while kerosene price remained stable.
The benchmark crude oil price (Light Arabian) also registered
upward trend during the last fortnight. However the exchange
rate - rupee-dollar parity- slightly improved due to the
strengthening of the rupee. The OCAC, however, did not mention
how much strength the rupee had against the greenback.
