What Determines Fuel Prices in India?
Despite daily revisions, petrol and diesel prices have remained stable since May 2022 when central and state governments implemented tax reductions.
Oil Marketing Companies adjust prices every morning at 6 AM based on multiple factors:
- Global Crude Oil Prices: The primary cost component as India imports most of its crude requirements
- Currency Exchange Rates: Rupee-dollar fluctuations directly impact import costs
- Tax Structure: Central excise and state VAT contribute significantly to final retail prices
- Refining and Distribution: Processing costs and supply chain expenses
- Market Dynamics: Seasonal demand variations and consumption patterns
