Petrol and Diesel Prices: How are they determined?
In India, petrol and diesel prices are determined daily by oil marketing companies (OMCs). These companies set prices taking into account the price of crude oil in the international market, foreign exchange rates, taxes levied by the central and state governments, and the dealer’s margin. Since each state has a different tax structure, there is a slight variation in petrol and diesel prices across different cities in the country on the same day.
