India’s petrol and diesel prices have remained stable since May 2022. This followed a significant tax reduction by the central government and several state governments to provide relief to consumers. Despite the price stability, the government continues to regulate fuel costs through mechanisms like excise duties, base pricing, and price caps.

Global Crude Oil Prices

Crude oil, the raw material for petrol and diesel, is a primary driver of fuel prices. Fluctuations in crude oil prices directly impact the cost at the pump.

Exchange Rate

India imports the majority of its crude oil, making the rupee-to-dollar exchange rate a critical factor. Any depreciation of the rupee increases the cost of imports, raising fuel prices.

Taxes

Central and state governments levy excise duties and value-added taxes (VAT) on petrol and diesel. These taxes vary by state, leading to price differences across the country.

Transportation costs, state-specific levies, and local municipal taxes contribute to regional variations in fuel prices.

Refining Costs

The process of refining crude oil into usable fuel adds to the overall cost. Refining costs depend on factors like the quality of crude oil and the efficiency of refineries.
