Key Factors That Affect Petrol and Diesel Prices in India
Several variables influence fuel pricing across the country:
1. Global Crude Oil Prices
As the primary input, fluctuations in international crude oil rates directly impact retail prices.
2. INR-USD Exchange Rate
Since India imports the majority of its crude oil, a weaker rupee leads to higher fuel costs.
3. Government Taxes
Central and state governments impose excise duties and local taxes, which can differ widely, affecting final consumer prices.
4. Refining and Distribution Costs
These operational expenses vary by region and refinery, playing a role in final pricing.
5. Demand and Supply Dynamics
Higher demand or disruptions in supply can drive prices up temporarily.
