Factors Influencing Fuel Prices
Several factors cause the cost of gasoline and oil to fluctuate every day:
Crude Oil Prices: The primary raw material for petrol and diesel production is crude oil, and its price directly impacts the cost of these fuels.
Exchange Rates: Indian fuel prices are affected by the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar because India buys a lot of crude oil.
Taxes: Both central and state governments impose various taxes on petrol and diesel, which can differ across states.
Refining Costs: The end prices are also affected by how much it costs to refine crude oil into gasoline and diesel.
Demand: Prices for gasoline and diesel can change based on demand. Usually, when demand is great, prices go up.
