Factors Influencing Petrol and Diesel Prices in India
Crude Oil Prices

As the primary raw material for petrol and diesel production, crude oil prices directly impact the cost of these fuels.

Exchange Rate

India’s reliance on crude oil imports means that the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar significantly affects fuel prices.

Taxes

Both central and state governments impose taxes on petrol and diesel, which vary across states, leading to differences in fuel prices nationwide.

Freight and Local Charges

Freight costs, value-added tax (VAT), and other local taxes contribute to regional price variations across states.

Refining Costs

The process of converting crude oil into petrol and diesel adds to the final cost. Refining expenses depend on factors such as crude oil type and refinery efficiency.
