30 May 2026: Latest rates of petrol and diesel in major cities of the country

After all, for what reasons are the prices of petrol and diesel decided?

The question that comes to the mind of many people is that when crude oil is the same, then why are its prices so different in different states? Actually, there are 5 main reasons behind determining the retail price:

• International crude oil price: India imports most of its crude oil needs from other countries. Therefore, whenever the price of crude oil increases or decreases in the international market, there is movement in the domestic market also.

• Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate: Crude oil is paid for in dollars. If the Indian rupee weakens against the US dollar, companies have to pay more to buy oil, making fuel expensive in the country.

• Government Tax (Excise Duty and VAT): The central government imposes excise duty on it and every state government collects VAT accordingly. This is the reason why there is a big difference in the rates of petrol in Delhi and Jaipur or Mumbai.

• Cost of Refining and Transportation: Refineries incur expenses in purifying crude oil and making petrol and diesel. After this, the fare for transporting the oil to the pumps built in different parts of the country is also added to the final price.

• Demand and Supply: Even when fuel consumption suddenly increases during festivals, peak farming season or weddings, there is a slight impact on prices.
