Why Fuel Prices Change
Crude oil and the rupee-dollar exchange rate drive the daily price changes. Taxes keep the final retail price high, or nothing.
-
Crude Oil Prices: Petrol and diesel come from crude oil. Global crude oil prices rise? The cost of fuel in India rises, too. India imports most of its crude oil.
-
Rupee vs. Dollar: India pays for crude oil in US dollars. The rupee weakens against the dollar. This means oil marketing companies must pay more rupees for the same amount of oil. Fuel gets expensive.
-
Government Taxes: Central and state governments levy high taxes, like Excise Duty and Value Added Tax (VAT), on fuel. VAT differs by state. That’s why prices vary wildly from city to city.
-
Refining & Logistics: Costs for refining crude oil & transporting it also affect the final price.
Since May 2022, prices have mostly stayed stable. The Centre and several states cut taxes, which helped balance the international market fluctuations for Indian consumers.
