The government had made some tax cuts in May 2022, after which there has been a kind of peace in the prices of petrol and diesel. Even though the prices of crude oil keep going up and down in the world market, the prices in India remain largely stable. Have you ever wondered why these prices go up and down? This game starts with the crude oil, which India buys from other countries. If prices rise there, it is affected here too. Then comes the role of the dollar. All this purchasing is done in dollars. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, we have to pay more to buy oil. But the biggest player is government taxes. A large part of the actual price of petrol and diesel comes from taxes of the central and state governments. This is the reason why prices also vary in different states. Apart from all this, the cost of cleaning the oil and its demand in the market also affect the prices. Know today’s price from home with an SMS.
