Several things decide the petrol price you pay at pumps.

• Crude Oil Prices: World oil prices directly affect your fuel costs. India buys about 85% of its crude oil from other countries. When oil prices rise globally, your local prices go up. Supply problems and global tensions affect oil prices.

• Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate: The rupee-dollar rate affects your petrol costs. India buys crude oil in US dollars. A weaker rupee means higher petrol prices for you. More rupees are needed to buy the same oil.

• Central Excise Duty: The government charges ₹32.98 per Litre as fixed tax. This tax stays the same regardless of oil price changes. This makes up about 21% of your petrol price. The fixed tax does not reduce when prices fall.

• State Value Added Tax (VAT): Chhattisgarh charges 26.94% VAT on fuel. VAT means the tax added on the product value. Different states have different VAT rates. This state tax creates price differences across India.

• Transportation and Logistics Costs: Distance from oil refineries affects prices in Korba. Transport costs and storage add to the final price. Distribution expenses influence what you pay at pumps.

• Oil Marketing Companies Operations: Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum set daily prices. They check global oil costs and dollar rates. Their costs and margins affect your pump price.

• Supply and Demand: Local fuel demand influences prices. More vehicles mean more demand for petrol. Industrial use and seasonal changes affect pricing. Higher demand usually brings higher prices.
