Why haven’t the prices of petrol and diesel changed in two years?
You might remember, there has been no major change in the prices of petrol and diesel since May 2022. The reason for this is that at that time the government had made some tax cuts, after which the prices have remained almost stable. Even though the prices of crude oil keep increasing and decreasing in the world market, it is not affecting the general public at present.
How is the price of oil decided? 5 big reasons
- Crude Oil: Petrol and diesel are made from crude oil only. When it becomes expensive in the international market, the prices also increase in India.
- Rupee-Dollar Game: We buy most of the oil from outside and pay for it in dollars. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, we have to pay more to buy oil.
- Government Tax: This is the biggest reason. A large part of the money you pay goes to the central and state governments in the form of tax. This is why prices vary from state to state.
- Cost of cleaning oil: Crude oil cannot be used directly. It is cleaned in refineries to make petrol and diesel, which costs money.
- Demand and Supply: Even if the demand for oil increases in the market and the supply decreases, the prices go up.
