🔍 Key Factors at Play
Why the difference between states?
Taxes, Taxes, Taxes: State-level taxes are the biggest driver of the regional differences. That’s why prices jump sharply when you cross a border.
The Rupee vs. Dollar: We rely heavily on crude imports. A weak rupee makes the dollar-denominated crude instantly more expensive.
Crude Oil Prices: This is the primary input cost, always fluctuating globally.
Here’s the kicker: even though the prices are “market-linked” and updated daily, they are heavily influenced by government excise duties and informal price caps. The market is not truly free.
You can check the latest prices yourself, too. Text your city code and “RSP” to 9224992249 if you use Indian Oil.
