Petrol Diesel Price Today: Every day in the country starts not only with new rays of the sun but also with the changing prices of petrol and diesel. These fuel prices directly affect the common man’s pocket and his monthly budget. Every day at 6 am, the country’s major oil marketing companies (OMCs) release new rates of petrol and diesel. These prices are decided on the basis of crude oil price in the international market and fluctuations in the exchange rate of rupee against dollar. Even minor changes in fuel prices affect the lives of everyone, from office-goers to small traders selling fruits and vegetables.
In such a situation, keeping accurate information about the fuel prices of your city every day is not only necessary but also a wise step. This daily pricing system implemented in India ensures transparency so that no misleading information reaches consumers.

Why have prices remained stable for the last two years?
If you notice, after May 2022, there has been a great stability in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country. In fact, in May 2022, a major reduction in Excise Duty and VAT was made by the Central Government and thereafter by many state governments. Since then, although crude oil prices have fluctuated wildly at times in the international market, Indian oil companies have largely controlled and kept retail prices stable for domestic consumers.
Retail prices of fuel are decided by these 5 main reasons
When you buy a liter of petrol or diesel in India, there are several economic factors at work behind its price:
-
Global prices of crude oil: The main source of petrol and diesel is crude oil. Whenever the price of crude oil increases due to the decisions of OPEC countries and global conditions in the international market, the possibility of fuel becoming expensive in the Indian market increases.
-
Position of rupee against dollar: India imports about 80-85% of its crude oil requirement from abroad, which is paid for in US dollars. If the Indian rupee weakens against the dollar, oil imports become expensive, thereby increasing prices in the country.
-
Government Tax and VAT: Excise tax levied by the central government and VAT charged by individual state governments form a major part of the retail price of fuel. This is the reason why there is a difference in the rates of petrol and diesel in different states or cities on the same day.
-
Cost of Refining: Crude oil imported from abroad cannot be used directly in vehicles. It has to go through the process of being refined in the refineries of the country. The cost of this processing and logistics is also included in the final price.
-
Mathematics of Demand and Supply: Prices are also affected by increase or decrease in demand in the market. During festival seasons, extreme heat or severe cold, when fuel consumption for transportation and power generation suddenly increases, it also impacts market movements.
