Factors Affecting Petrol and Diesel Prices in India
- Crude Oil Prices: As the primary raw material for producing petrol and diesel, fluctuations in crude oil prices directly impact fuel costs.
- Exchange Rate: India, being a major importer of crude oil, is affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar, which in turn influences fuel prices.
- Taxes: Petrol and diesel prices are subject to various taxes imposed by both central and state governments. These taxes can differ across states, significantly impacting the final price at the pump.
- Refining Costs: The expenses involved in refining crude oil into petrol and diesel also determine fuel prices. These costs can vary depending on factors such as the type of crude oil used and the refinery’s efficiency.
