Why have prices been stable for the last two years?
From May 2022 onwards, petrol and diesel prices have remained stable following tax cuts by the central government and several states. Although international markets fluctuate, prices for Indian consumers have remained relatively stable.
What factors determine fuel prices?
Crude Oil Prices:
Petrol and diesel are mainly produced from crude oil. When international crude oil prices increase, it directly impacts the Indian market.
Rupee vs Dollar:
India imports most of its crude oil and it is purchased in dollars. If the rupee weakens, fuel becomes expensive.
Government Taxes and Fees:
Central and state governments impose heavy taxes on petrol and diesel, which form a large part of the retail price. This is why prices vary across states.
Refining Cost:
The process of making crude oil useful (refining) also incurs costs. This cost depends on the quality of the crude oil and the capacity of the refinery.
Demand and supply balance:
If the demand for fuel increases in the market, the prices also increase. Fuel consumption is especially high during festivals, summer or winter.
