Public sector OMCs such as Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd are responsible for the regular review of petrol and diesel prices in the country (BPCL).
The fuel price is adjusted by OMCs based on a number of factors, including international crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates. Because of local factors such as state taxes, VAT (Value Added Tax), and freight charges, the price of gasoline and diesel differs from state to state.
Following the national government’s relaxation of the excise duty on fuel prices, some state governments decreased VAT on petrol and diesel, bringing prices down. The state government of Kerala reduced the local tax on petrol and diesel prices by Rs 2.41 and Rs 1.36 per litre, respectively.
