Factors Influencing Petrol and Diesel Prices in India

Fuel prices in India are revised daily based on movements in global crude oil prices and changes in foreign exchange rates. Despite volatility in global crude oil markets, petrol and diesel prices in India have remained largely stable over the past few years. Retail fuel prices have seen limited movement since May 2022, when excise duties and state taxes were reduced.

Retail fuel prices are influenced by multiple factors, including global crude oil prices, the rupee–dollar exchange rate, central and state taxes, transportation costs, and demand–supply dynamics. Since India imports a large share of its crude oil, any fluctuation in global prices or currency movements can impact domestic fuel rates.
