Petrol Diesel Rate: How are prices decided?
Petrol and diesel prices in India are determined daily by oil marketing companies (OMCs). These companies determine prices based on international crude oil prices, foreign exchange rates, taxes imposed by the central and state governments, and dealer margins. Each state has a different tax structure, so petrol and diesel prices vary slightly across different cities within the country even within a single day.
