Factors Affecting Petrol and Diesel Prices in India
- Crude Oil Prices – Since crude oil is the primary raw material for fuel production, its global price fluctuations directly impact petrol and diesel rates in India.
- Currency Exchange Rates – India imports most of its crude oil, so the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee (INR) and the US Dollar (USD) plays a key role. A weaker rupee increases fuel costs.
- Taxes – Both central and state governments impose taxes on fuel, which vary across states and significantly influence the final price at fuel stations.
- Refining Costs – The expense of refining crude oil into petrol and diesel depends on factors such as the type of crude oil used and refinery efficiency.
- Market Demand – When demand for fuel rises, prices tend to increase as suppliers adjust to market conditions.
