Why do rates increase and decrease? (in simple language)
You might be wondering why the rates change daily? Its direct mathematics is related to “crude oil” and “dollar”.
- Crude Oil: We buy petrol and diesel from outside. If crude oil becomes expensive abroad, the prices will increase here.
- Rupee vs Dollar: We pay to buy oil in ‘dollars’. If the dollar becomes expensive, then understand that our petrol also becomes expensive.
- Tax: More than half of the cost is due to government (central and state) taxes. This is the reason why there is a difference of Rs 10 in the rates of Delhi and Mumbai.
