Why have prices been stable for two years?
In May 2022, the central government and several state governments reduced taxes on petrol and diesel. Since then, fuel prices in the country have remained stable despite fluctuations in the international market. This has provided relief to consumers for a long time.
What factors determine prices?
The retail price of petrol and diesel depends on several factors:
- Crude oil price: Domestic prices also increase when oil becomes expensive internationally.
- Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate: India imports oil, and payments are made in dollars. The weakening of the rupee affects prices.
- Government Taxes: The central and state governments levy taxes on petrol and diesel, which account for a large portion of the price.
- Refining Costs: There is also a cost involved in the process of converting crude oil into finished fuel.
- Supply and Demand: Prices may increase when demand increases due to festivals, weather, or other reasons.
Why do rates change every day at 6 am?
Oil companies implement new rates every morning at 6 am, taking into account international market prices and Rupee-Dollar fluctuations. This maintains transparency in prices and provides consumers with accurate information in a timely manner.
