Key factors influencing petrol prices

Petrol prices in India are primarily determined by a mix of global, economic, and domestic factors. The international price of crude oil remains the most significant driver, as it directly affects the base cost of fuel.

The rupee dollar exchange rate also plays an important role since India depends heavily on imported crude. A weaker rupee increases the cost of imports, which can push up retail fuel prices.

Why petrol prices vary across cities

Differences in petrol prices across cities are largely due to varying tax structures imposed by central and state governments. Taxes form a substantial part of the retail price. In addition, transportation costs and local demand and supply conditions influence the final price paid by consumers.
