Why do petrol and diesel prices vary?

In India, petrol and diesel prices depend on international crude oil rates, the rupee's value against the dollar, freight charges, excise duty, and VAT levied by state governments. Consequently, fuel prices can differ from state to state and city to city.

Could prices change?

Crude oil prices in the international market have fluctuated recently. Despite this, domestic retail petrol and diesel prices have remained stable for now. However, significant volatility in global markets or changes in government taxes could lead to price adjustments in the coming days.

How to check petrol and diesel rates in your city?

Vehicle owners can easily check the latest petrol and diesel rates in their city via the official websites of Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum, or through text messages.
