Why have prices been stable for the last two years?

Since May 2022, petrol and diesel prices have remained stable following tax cuts by the central government and several states. Although there are fluctuations in the international market, prices have remained quite stable for Indian customers.

What factors determine fuel prices?

1. Crude Oil Prices: Petrol and diesel are mainly made from crude oil. When international crude oil prices increase, it directly impacts the Indian market.
2. Rupee vs Dollar: India imports most of its crude oil, and it is purchased in dollars. If the rupee weakens, fuel becomes expensive.
3. Government Taxes and Duties: Central and state governments impose heavy taxes on petrol and diesel, which form a large part of the retail price. This is the reason why there is difference in prices across states.
4. Refining cost: The process of making crude oil usable (refining) also involves expenditure. This expenditure depends on the quality of crude oil and the capacity of the refinery.
5. Balance of demand and supply: If the demand for fuel increases in the market, the prices also increase. Fuel consumption is especially high during festivals, summer and winter.
