Global Crude Oil Impact
Crude oil prices in the international market have remained around $86 per barrel, maintaining stability over the past week. The absence of sharp movements in global crude has helped Indian OMCs keep local rates steady. Analysts suggest that unless there’s a significant spike in crude oil, domestic fuel prices are likely to remain unchanged for the short term.
Why Petrol and Diesel Prices Differ Across Cities
Fuel prices vary from state to state in India due to differences in Value Added Tax (VAT), local transportation costs, and dealer commissions. For instance, Mumbai and Kolkata have higher state taxes, resulting in higher per-litre prices compared to Delhi or Bengaluru.
