  2. Central Excise Duty: Fixed tax levied on each liter by the central government.

  3. Dealer Commission: Margin to petrol pump operators.

  4. State level VAT and cess: Sales tax imposed by state governments in different states. For example, due to higher VAT rates in Bihar, Rajasthan and Telangana, the price of petrol there remains around ₹104 to ₹107, whereas in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh the tax burden is comparatively less.
