Why Do Petrol Prices Vary Across States?
Petrol prices are not uniform across India because each state has its own taxation policy. The main reasons for variation include:
1. State VAT (Value Added Tax)
VAT differs from state to state. States like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana charge higher VAT, resulting in higher fuel prices.
2. Transportation and Distribution Costs
States that are far from refineries or require additional transport costs often see higher fuel prices.
3. Dealer Commission
Dealers in some regions receive higher commissions, which is added to the final price.
4. Central and State Government Policies
Subsidies, cess, and local taxes directly affect the retail price.
5. International Crude Oil Prices
India imports more than 80% of its crude oil. When global crude prices rise, retail prices also increase.
Conclusion
Petrol prices in India are influenced by multiple economic factors and change daily. Staying updated with state-wise fuel prices helps consumers plan their budgets and travel efficiently. The above list provides a clear and accurate picture of the petrol prices across India as of today.
