Revision of petrol and diesel prices is a regular process carried out by public sector OMCs like Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL). Fuel price revisions made by the OMCs are influenced by several variables including international crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates. The price of petrol and diesel varies from state to state due to local factors like state taxes, VAT (Value Added Tax), and freight charges, among others.
Following the Centre’s move to relax Excise Duty on fuel prices several state governments also reduced local taxes.
