Key Factors That Influence Fuel Prices in India
While OMCs technically adjust rates daily, several factors controlled by market forces and government policy determine the final price you pay at the pump.
- Global Crude Oil Prices: This is the most significant factor. As India imports the majority of its crude oil, any change in global prices directly impacts domestic fuel costs.
- Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate: Since crude oil is purchased in US dollars, a weaker rupee makes imports more expensive, leading to higher petrol and diesel prices.
- Taxes (Central & State): A substantial portion of the retail fuel price consists of Central Excise Duty and State-level Value Added Tax (VAT). This is why prices vary from one state to another.
- Refining and Freight Costs: The costs associated with processing crude oil into petrol and diesel, along with transportation charges, are added to the final price.
- Demand and Supply: Market dynamics, including domestic demand for fuel, also play a role in price determination.
