Why Petrol and Diesel Prices Change

Fuel prices in India have remained largely stable since May 2022, following tax reductions by the central and several state governments. While technically linked to global market trends, retail fuel prices are also shaped by taxes and regulatory measures.

Key Factors Affecting Fuel Prices:

• Crude Oil Prices: The biggest driver, as crude is the main raw material.
• Currency Exchange Rates: A weaker rupee against the dollar pushes up import costs.
• Taxes: Central and state taxes make up a significant part of the retail price, leading to regional differences.
• Refining Costs: Converting crude oil into petrol and diesel adds to the price.
• Demand and Supply: Higher demand often leads to price hikes.
