Key Factors Behind Petrol and Diesel Rates in India
Fuel prices in India are influenced by global and domestic factors. OMCs adjust prices daily based on global crude oil market trends, foreign exchange rates, and government-imposed duties. Though prices are technically market-linked, taxes and transport charges significantly affect retail costs.
- Crude Oil Prices: Global crude trends directly impact domestic petrol and diesel costs.
- Exchange Rate: A weaker rupee against the US dollar raises import costs.
- Taxes: Both central excise duty and state VAT form a large portion of retail prices.
- Refining Costs: Higher refinery and transportation costs can increase fuel prices.
Crude Oil Prices and Exchange Rate Impact Fuel Costs
Crude oil remains the single biggest factor in determining petrol and diesel prices today. Global supply decisions by oil-producing countries, geopolitical conflicts, and seasonal demand spikes affect pricing. Additionally, any depreciation of the Indian rupee results in higher import costs for crude oil, which adds upward pressure on retail fuel rates.
Regional variations exist because of differing VAT rates and transportation costs across states.
