Petrol Diesel Price: What is the reason for stable prices?
From May 2022 onwards, prices have remained under control due to reduction in excise duty by the Central Government and reduction in VAT by many states. Apart from this, the dollar-rupee balance also plays a big role in determining prices for crude oil imports. At present, despite fluctuations in the global market, domestic oil companies are protecting consumers from the shock of inflation by keeping prices stable.
