Petrol and Diesel Rates Today: How do petrol and diesel prices fluctuate?
Petrol and diesel prices are affected by many factors, which is why their prices vary from state to state and city to city.
- Crude Oil Prices: India imports most of its crude oil needs, hence fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international market have a direct impact on domestic prices.
- Foreign Exchange Rates: Crude oil is traded in US dollars. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, imports become more expensive, leading to higher fuel prices.
- Government Taxes: The central and state governments levy excise duty and VAT on fuel. These tax rates vary from state to state, which is the main reason for the price difference.
- Refining and Transportation Costs: The cost of refining crude oil and transporting it to petrol pumps is also added to the final price.
