Latest prices of petrol and diesel in metros

Despite Brent Crude reaching $ 108 per barrel, today the oil companies have not made any major change in the prices of petrol and diesel at the national level. However, due to local taxes and VAT, slight differences have been seen in some cities of UP like Noida and Lucknow.

Why are fuel prices increasing?

Several global and local factors are responsible for this fluctuation in fuel prices:

Global Conflict: The supply chain of crude oil has been affected due to the ongoing war in West Asia.

Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate: Import of crude oil has become expensive due to weakening of Indian Rupee.

Logistics and Tax: Prices may vary by ₹5 to ₹10 in two cities of the same country due to distance from the refinery and different VAT charged by different states.
