Factors Influencing Fuel Prices
Several factors influence the daily petrol and diesel rates in India:
- International Crude Oil Prices: India imports approximately 80% of its oil needs, making domestic fuel rates highly sensitive to global crude oil prices.
- Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate: A weaker rupee increases the landed cost of dollar-denominated crude oil, which can lead to increased petrol and diesel prices.
- Government Taxes and Duties: Central excise duty and Value Added Tax (VAT) levied by state governments also contribute to the retail price of fuel.
- Dealer Margins and Transportation Costs: The costs associated with dealer commissions and transportation are factored into the final price.
- Global events: Geopolitical events and international sanctions can impact the supply and therefore prices of crude oil.

India follows a dynamic fuel pricing system, where prices are revised daily at 6 am. This system reflects changes in international oil prices and currency exchange rates. Consumers can check the daily rates through various platforms, including oil company websites and mobile apps.
