The OMCs, or the Oil Marketing Companies, work as a bridge between the dealers and the exporters. These are the ones who purchase the petroleum, refine it and distribute it to different parts of the nation. These are independent of the government's intervention, even if they are tied to taxes. Before selling, they consider the factors like operational and transportation charges, the margin of the profit and much more.
