After all, how and for what reasons is the price of oil decided?
These factors mainly play a role in determining the daily prices of petrol and diesel in India:
Crude oil price: Petrol and diesel are mainly made from crude oil. As soon as the price of crude oil increases in the global market, it directly impacts the Indian market.
Rupee against dollar: India imports most of its crude oil and is paid for it in dollars. Fuel becomes expensive due to the weakness of the rupee.
Government Tax: Central excise duty and state governments’ VAT form a major part of the retail price. For this reason, petrol prices differ in different states and cities.
Refining Cost: The cost of processing crude oil to make it usable in a refinery is also added to the final price.
demand and supply: Increase in consumption during festivals or seasonal changes puts pressure on prices under the law of supply-demand.
