What Determines Fuel Prices in India?
Despite daily revisions, petrol and diesel prices have remained stable since May 2022 when the central and state governments implemented tax reductions. The current pricing mechanism combines market-linked adjustments with regulatory oversight.
Major Factors Affecting Fuel Costs
- Global Crude Oil Prices: As the primary raw material, international crude oil rates directly impact final fuel prices
- Currency Exchange Rates: Since India imports most of its crude oil, a weaker rupee against the US dollar increases costs
- Tax Structure: Central excise duty and state VAT contribute significantly to the final retail price, creating regional variations
- Refining and Distribution: Processing costs and supply chain expenses affect the base price
- Market Dynamics: Seasonal demand patterns and consumption trends influence pricing decisions
