Often people ask why the prices of petrol are different in the same country? The main reason for this is government taxes and fees. While the Central Government imposes ‘Excise Duty’, the State Governments collect their own ‘VAT’. Since the VAT rates of every state are different, there can be a difference of up to ₹ 10 in the prices of Lucknow and Jaipur. Apart from this, the cost of refining and the cost of freight also play a big role in deciding the final price. The secret of price stability: From May 2022 till now, no major explosive change has been seen in the prices of petrol and diesel in India for the last two years. Prices have remained relatively stable since the huge tax cut by the central government in May 2022. Although the prices of crude oil keep going up and down due to geopolitical tension at the international level, but to provide relief to the Indian consumers, the government and oil companies are trying to keep the prices balanced.
