Who regulates the fuel price?
Petrol and diesel prices are subject to daily revisions by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) such as Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL). These revisions are based on international benchmark prices and forex rates. In a recent announcement, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri mentioned that OMCs will contemplate lowering petrol and diesel prices if international crude costs remain steady and these companies achieve favourable results in the upcoming quarter.
The last significant correction in fuel prices took place across the nation on 21 May. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had then announced a reduction of Rs 8 per litre in excise duty for petrol and Rs 6 per litre for diesel. Following the excise duty reduction by the central government in May 2022, certain states opted to lower the VAT on fuels, whereas others implemented additional cess on petrol and diesel.
