Why Petrol and Diesel Prices Vary

Despite being market-linked, fuel prices in India are influenced by several factors:

Global Crude Oil Prices – The single biggest factor, as crude is the key raw material.

Exchange Rate – A weaker rupee against the US dollar pushes up costs, since India imports most of its crude.

Taxes – Central excise duty and state VAT together account for a significant portion of the retail price, creating differences between states.

Refining Costs – Converting crude into fuel adds to the base price, and varies with crude quality and refinery efficiency.

Demand & Supply – Seasonal and regional demand patterns can influence local price adjustments.

Notably, fuel prices have remained unchanged since May 2022, after the central government and several states cut taxes to provide relief to consumers.
