Petrol Diesel Rate: How are petrol and diesel prices decided?
In India, petrol and diesel prices vary from state by state. They are not uniform across the country. There are several reasons behind this. Let’s explore them in detail.
- Taxes and Local Charges
The central government and state governments impose different taxes on petrol and diesel. VAT and other levies vary by state, causing price fluctuations.
- Global Crude Oil Price
Petrol and diesel are made from crude oil. If crude oil prices rise in the international market, fuel prices also become more expensive in India.
- Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate
India imports crude oil and pays for it in dollars. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, purchasing oil becomes more expensive, leading to higher prices.
- Demand and Supply
If demand for petrol and diesel increases in the country, prices also rise. However, if demand decreases, prices may fall.
- Refining Costs
The process of converting crude oil into petrol and diesel is quite expensive. This cost also adds to the final price.
