Stable prices after May 2022
Despite fluctuations in global crude oil markets, petrol and diesel prices in India have remained largely stable for the last few years. There has been no major change in the prices of petrol and diesel in India since May 2022. During that time, prices remained stable for a long time after the Central Government reduced the excise duty (Rs 8 on petrol and Rs 6 on diesel).
Retail fuel prices are influenced by many factors, including global crude oil prices, rupee-dollar exchange rate, central and state taxes, transportation costs and demand-supply equation. Since India imports a large part of its crude oil, any fluctuations in global prices or changes in currency exchange can impact domestic fuel rates.
