How are fuel prices determined in India?
Petrol and diesel prices in India are revised daily by public sector oil marketing companies — Indian Oil (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) — under a dynamic fuel pricing system in place since 2017. Prices vary by city due to differences in state VAT, local body tax, and dealer commissions.
Crude oil price
International Brent crude forms the base cost, typically 55–60% of the retail price.
Central excise duty
Levied by the central govt — ₹19.90/L on petrol and ₹15.80/L on diesel (current rates).
State VAT
Varies 15–35% by state — the biggest reason prices differ across cities.
Dealer commission
Fixed margin paid to petrol pump operators, around ₹3.85/L for petrol.
