Why have prices remained stable for the past two years?
Following tax cuts by the central government and several states after May 2022, petrol and diesel prices have remained stable. Despite fluctuations in the international market, prices for Indian consumers have stayed relatively steady.
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 vs. Dollar:
India imports the majority of its crude oil, which is purchased in US dollars. If the rupee weakens, fuel becomes more expensive.
Government taxes and levies:
Central and state governments impose heavy taxes on petrol and diesel, which constitute a significant portion of the retail price. This is why prices vary across states.
Refining costs:
There are costs associated with the process of refining crude oil to make it usable. These costs depend on the quality of the crude oil and the refinery's capacity.
Demand-supply balance:
If the demand for fuel in the market rises, prices tend to go up. Fuel consumption is particularly high during festivals and the summer or winter seasons.
