Why Fuel Prices Change Daily
OMCs such as Indian Oil, BPCL, and HPCL adjust fuel prices every morning at 6 AM based on:
Global crude oil prices
International crude prices remain the biggest factor, as India imports most of its crude requirement.
Indian Rupee vs US Dollar
A weaker rupee generally makes oil imports costlier, pushing fuel prices up.
Central & State Taxes
Taxes make up a major chunk of what you pay at the pump. Different state taxes result in different fuel prices across India.
Refining & Distribution Costs
Converting crude into petrol and diesel and transporting it across the country also affects final pricing.
Domestic Demand
Higher demand, especially during festive or travel seasons, may also influence price movements.
Fuel Prices Have Been Stable Since 2022
Retail petrol and diesel prices have been largely unchanged since May 2022, when the central government cut excise duty to provide relief amid rising global prices. Many states also reduced VAT to soften the impact on consumers.
Despite being market-linked, fuel prices in India often see limited daily variations due to regulatory practices and informal price stabilization measures.
