Why has there been stability in the market for a long time?
Retail prices of petrol and diesel in the country have remained largely stable since the reduction in excise duty and VAT by the Central Government and various states during May 2022. Although crude oil prices continue to fluctuate in the global market, oil companies have kept domestic rates under control, giving relief to Indian consumers.
How is the price of fuel decided in your city?
-
Global Crude Oil Rates: Petrol and diesel are directly related to crude oil. The increase or decrease in crude prices in the global market has a direct impact on India’s domestic market.
-
Dollar vs Rupee: India imports most of its crude oil needs from abroad, which is paid in dollars. The strengthening or weakening of the Indian rupee against the dollar changes the cost of imports.
-
Central and State Taxes: Excise duty of the Central Government and VAT of the State Governments constitute a major part of the final price of fuel. This is the reason why the rates of petrol and diesel are different in different states and cities.
-
Refining Cost: The cost of converting crude oil into petrol and diesel in refineries is also included in the final prices.
-
Supply and Demand: Fuel demand in the market and consumption due to festivals or seasons also play a role in determining prices.
