Why have prices been stable for the last two years?
Petrol and diesel prices are stable from May 2022, following tax cuts by the central government and several states. Although there are fluctuations in the international market, prices for Indian consumers have remained largely stable.
On what factors do fuel prices depend?
Crude Oil Prices: Petrol and diesel are mainly made from crude oil. When international crude oil prices increase, it directly impacts the Indian market.
Rupee against dollar: India imports most of its crude oil, and it is purchased in dollars. If the rupee weakens, fuel becomes expensive.
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 prices vary across states.
Refining Cost: The process of making crude oil usable (refining) also involves cost. These costs depend on the quality of crude oil and the capacity of the refinery.
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 or winter seasons.
