Petrol Diesel Price: Why do prices fluctuate?
Fuel prices primarily depend on the price of crude oil in the international market and the strength of the rupee against the dollar. Additionally, the central government’s excise duty and the state governments’ VAT together determine the final rate. This is why petrol and diesel prices vary across states and cities.
