People often ask why petrol prices are different in the same country? The main reason for this government taxes and fees Are. While the Central Government imposes ‘Excise Duty’, the State Governments collect their own ‘VAT’. Since the VAT rates of every state are different, there can be a difference of up to ₹ 10 in the prices of Lucknow and Jaipur. Apart from this, the cost of refining and freight charges also play a big role in deciding the final price.

The secret of price stability: from May 2022 till now

No major explosive change has been seen in the prices of petrol and diesel in India for the last almost two years. Prices have remained relatively stable since the huge tax cut by the central government in May 2022. Although the prices of crude oil keep going up and down due to geopolitical tensions at the international level, the government and oil companies are trying to keep the prices balanced to provide relief to Indian consumers.
