Factors Influencing Fuel Prices

Several factors impact the pricing of petrol and diesel in India:

Crude Oil Prices: The cost of crude oil is a significant determinant in the price of petrol and diesel. As the primary raw material, changes in crude oil prices directly affect fuel costs.

Exchange Rates: Since India is a major importer of crude oil, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar can influence fuel prices.

Taxes: Taxes imposed by both central and state governments vary, and these taxes significantly impact the final prices of petrol and diesel across different states.

Refining Costs: The expenses associated with refining crude oil into petrol and diesel contribute to the final fuel prices. These costs can vary depending on the type of crude oil used and the efficiency of the refining process.

Demand and Supply: Variations in the demand for petrol and diesel can also affect their prices. Increased demand may lead to higher prices.
