Today’s petrol and diesel prices in major cities of the country (15 July 2026)

After all, what are the factors that decide fuel prices?

India imports about 80 to 85 percent of its crude oil requirement from abroad. By the time it reaches the retail outlet, the prices of petrol and diesel mainly depend on 5 factors:

1. International crude oil price: As the price per barrel of crude oil goes up or down in the global market, the cost of Indian refineries also changes in the same proportion.

2. Dollar vs Rupee: Since international trading of crude oil is done in US dollars, the strength or weakness of the Indian rupee against the dollar directly affects the import bill of the fuel.

3. Government Tax (Excise Duty & VAT): A large part of the retail price goes in the form of excise duty of the central government and VAT of the state governments. This is the reason why there is a huge difference in prices in different states.

4. Refining and Logistics Costs: The process of converting crude oil into petrol and diesel by bringing it to the refinery and then transporting it to the pumps located in every corner of the country is also included in this.

5. demand and supply: When fuel consumption in the country suddenly increases due to festivals, agricultural season or change in weather, the prices are also affected.
