What Determines Fuel Prices in India?
Oil Marketing Companies implement daily price revisions at 6 AM, adjusting rates based on global crude oil market fluctuations and currency exchange rates. This system ensures transparency and provides consumers with current fuel pricing.
Despite the daily adjustments, petrol and diesel prices have maintained stability since May 2022, when central and state governments implemented tax reductions. The pricing mechanism combines market-linked factors with regulatory influences including excise duties and informal price caps.
Primary Factors Affecting Fuel Costs
- Global Crude Oil Prices: As the primary raw material, international crude rates directly impact final fuel costs
- Currency Exchange Rates: India’s heavy reliance on crude imports means rupee-dollar exchange rates significantly influence pricing
- Taxation Structure: Both central and state taxes contribute substantially to retail prices, creating regional variations
- Refining Expenses: Processing costs vary based on crude quality and refinery operational efficiency
- Market Dynamics: Consumption patterns and supply adjustments also play a role in price determination
