Fuel prices in India
In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) review petrol and diesel prices on a daily basis, and rates are increased, decreased or kept steady. At 6am each day, fuel prices for that day are announced. These are determined according to both foreign exchange and international benchmark rates.
Why fuel prices vary across states?
These defer from state to state depending upon the local taxes, Value Added Tax (VAT), and freight charges.
