Petrol and diesel prices vary from one city to another because of several local factors.
The final retail price depends on:
-
State Value Added Tax (VAT)
-
Local taxes and levies
-
Transportation and freight costs
-
Dealer commission
-
Other state-specific charges
Since each state imposes different tax rates, fuel prices are not uniform across the country, even though the base price is similar.
What Drivers Should KnowFuel prices are revised daily by oil marketing companies based on international crude oil prices and foreign exchange movements. Motorists planning long-distance travel or commercial transport operators should check the latest city-wise rates before refuelling, as even small daily revisions can affect overall fuel expenses over time.
