In India, fuel prices have remained steady since May 2022, after the central government and various state governments reduced fuel taxes.
Oil marketing companies (OMCs) update fuel prices daily at 6 a.m., reflecting changes in global crude oil prices. The government controls these prices using tools such as excise taxes, base pricing, and price caps.
Factors Influencing Petrol and Diesel Prices in India
- Crude Oil Prices: As the key raw material for producing petrol and diesel, fluctuations in global crude oil prices have a direct impact on fuel costs in India.
- Exchange Rate: India imports a significant portion of its crude oil, so changes in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar influence fuel prices. A weaker rupee generally leads to higher fuel costs.
- Taxes: Petrol and diesel prices are subject to various taxes imposed by both the central and state governments. These taxes can vary from state to state, contributing significantly to the final price consumers pay at the pump.
- Refining Costs: The process of refining crude oil into petrol and diesel incurs costs that influence fuel prices. These expenses can vary based on factors such as the type of crude oil processed and the efficiency of the refinery.
- Demand: The balance of supply and demand plays a crucial role in determining fuel prices. Increased demand for petrol and diesel typically results in higher prices, as suppliers adjust to market conditions.
