Factors that Influence Petrol and Diesel Prices in India
Crude Oil Prices: Changes in the price of crude oil globally directly affect the cost of fuel in India since it is the main raw material used to make gasoline and diesel.
Exchange Rate: Since a sizable amount of India's crude oil is imported, changes in the value of the Indian rupee relative to the US dollar have an impact on fuel prices. Higher fuel prices are typically associated with a weaker rupee.
Taxes: The central and state governments impose a variety of taxes on petrol and diesel prices. These taxes can vary by state, adding significantly to the final price consumers pay at the pump.
Refining Costs: The process of refining crude oil into gasoline and diesel generates costs that influence fuel prices. These expenses can vary depending on the type of crude oil processed and the refinery's efficiency.
Demand: The balance between supply and demand is critical in determining fuel prices. Increased demand for gasoline and diesel usually results in higher prices as suppliers adjust to market conditions.
