In India, petrol and diesel rates 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. Each state has a different tax structure, which is why there is a slight difference in petrol and diesel prices in different cities across the country on the same day.
