Every day starts not just with the rays of the sun, but also with the new prices of petrol and diesel, which directly affect the pocket of the common man. At 6 am, the country’s oil marketing companies (OMCs) release the latest rates, which are based on the changes in the prices of crude oil in the international market and the dollar-rupee exchange rate.

Why are prices stable for the last two years ?
Petrol and diesel prices have remained stable since May 2022 after tax cuts by the Centre and several states. Although the international market fluctuates, prices for Indian consumers have remained comparatively stable.
What are the reasons behind determination of fuel prices ?
- Crude Oil Prices:
Petrol and diesel are produced mainly from crude oil. When the prices of crude oil rise internationally, it directly affects the Indian market.
- Rupee against Dollar:
India imports most of its crude oil, and it is bought in dollars. If the rupee weakens, fuel becomes expensive.
- Government taxes and fees:
The central and state governments levy heavy taxes on petrol and diesel, which form a large part of the retail price. This is the reason why there is a difference in prices across states.
- Cost of Refining:
There is also a cost involved in the process of making crude oil usable (refining). This cost depends on the quality of crude oil and the capacity of the refinery.
Balance of Demand and Supply:
If the demand for fuel increases in the market, then the prices also start going up. Especially during festivals, summer or winter season, fuel consumption is more.
