In India, the price of petrol and diesel is determined by a number of elements, including freight costs, value-added tax (VAT), and municipal taxes. Because of this, the rates vary from state to state.

Since May 2022, when the federal government and some states reduced gasoline taxes, the fuel prices have remained the same.

Every day at six in the morning, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) adjust the retail price of fuel in accordance with the price of crude oil throughout the world. Government regulates gasoline costs via excise tax, base pricing, and price caps.
