Why Fuel Prices Differ Across States
Fuel rates in India depend on several factors:
- Global Crude Oil Prices – The biggest driver of petrol and diesel costs.
- Currency Exchange Rates – A weaker rupee against the US dollar raises import costs.
- Taxes – Central excise duty and state VAT contribute significantly to retail fuel prices.
- Refining Costs – Varying processing costs influence final pump rates.
- Demand-Supply Trends – Local demand can also affect pricing.
