On May 21, 2022, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman implemented a nationwide change in fuel rates. During this adjustment, the excise duty on petrol was reduced by Rs 8 per litre, while diesel saw a reduction of Rs 6 per litre. Following this central government's excise duty cut, certain states have further reduced VAT prices on fuels, while others have imposed cess on petrol and diesel.

Every day at 6 am, the prices of petrol and diesel experience fluctuations influenced by various factors, including excise duty, dealer commission, VAT, and additional charges.
