Why have prices remained stable for the past two years?
Since May 2022, the central government and several state governments have reduced taxes on fuel, resulting in stable prices for petrol and diesel. Despite fluctuations in the international market, prices for Indian consumers have remained relatively stable.
What factors determine fuel prices?
Crude oil prices:
Petrol and diesel are primarily produced from crude oil. When international crude oil prices rise, it directly impacts the Indian market.
Rupee-Dollar exchange rate:
India imports most of its crude oil, and this is purchased in US dollars. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, fuel becomes more expensive.
Government Taxes and Duties:
The central and state governments levy heavy taxes on petrol and diesel, which constitute a significant portion of the retail price. This is why there are price variations across different states.
Refining Costs:
The process of converting crude oil into usable fuel (refining) also incurs costs. These costs depend on the quality of the crude oil and the capacity of the refinery.
Supply and Demand Dynamics:
If the demand for fuel in the market increases, the prices also tend to rise. Fuel consumption is particularly high during festivals, summer, or winter seasons.
