What factors influence fuel prices?

India imports more than 80% of its oil requirements, so domestic fuel prices are largely determined by international prices. Other factors influencing domestic petrol and diesel prices include central excise duty, VAT (value-added tax) levied by state governments, dealer and refining margins, and transportation costs. Currently, petrol and diesel are not subject to GST.

Since several factors impact fuel prices, no single reason can be solely responsible for any price changes. Often, several factors together cause price fluctuations.
