Why are prices remaining stable from May 2022?
It is a matter of relief for Indian consumers that despite the continuous fluctuations in the prices of crude oil at the international level, the rates of petrol and diesel in the country have been stable for a long time. The main reason for this is the huge tax cuts made by the Central and many state governments in May 2022. Since then, there has been no major change in retail prices, due to which the general public has got some relief on the inflation front.
What are the important factors that decide fuel prices?
Many factors play a role in determining the prices of petrol and diesel in India:
Crude oil price: Fuel is mainly made from crude oil. As soon as crude oil becomes expensive in the global market, it directly puts pressure on domestic oil companies.
Exchange rate of rupee and dollar: India imports most of its crude oil needs by purchasing it in dollars. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, oil imports become expensive.
Government Tax: Excise duty of the central government and VAT of the state governments form a major part of the price of petrol and diesel. Every state has its own VAT, that is why the prices are different in different cities.
Refining Cost: The cost of processing crude oil in a refinery to make petrol and diesel is also added to the final price.
demand and supply: When demand for fuel suddenly increases during festivals or seasonal changes, there is pressure on prices under the law of supply and demand.
