The busy city of Pune has a dense network of roads and a sprawling urban population. As a result, the demand for petrol among the masses is significant. As the cost of fuel is ever-increasing, owing to the global and local parameters at play, it is critical that you check petrol prices regularly. Read on to know about the petrol price in Pune today (live) as well as the different factors that determine and impact it.
In Pune, the petrol rate is calculated based on several determining factors. These are listed below:
The fluctuations in the cost of crude oil in the global market impacts the petrol cost in Pune. The demand-supply ratio and the geopolitical climate are two major factors impacting it. The higher the cost of crude oil, the higher the petrol cost in Pune.
The rate at which fuel is purchased plays a critical role in the final price of petrol in Pune. If the US Dollar becomes costlier, it drives up the price you have to pay for petrol.
Once the oil has been imported from the fuel reserves abroad, the oil marketing companies (OMCs) add the cost of refining and transporting the petrol along with their profit margin.
This refined petrol is bought by the dealers who add their commission along with the applicable taxes. There are two taxes levied on the petrol price in Pune. One is the Central excise duty (plus cess), while the other is the state government’s VAT (value-added tax). The final petrol cost in Pune is a combination of all the above-mentioned costs.

In accordance with the dynamic fuel pricing policy, the petrol price in Pune is revised every day at 06 AM. As a result, the petrol price in Pune today can be different from that of yesterday. You can find the updated price of petrol on the display boards of fuel stations as well as on the websites and apps of oil companies.
Before 2017, 1-litre petrol price in Pune was revised on a fortnightly basis, i.e., the first and the sixteenth of every month. As a result, any changes in the price between the two dates had to be borne by the OMCs and the dealers. Also due to political influences, the price could not be increased drastically by the OMCs in one go even if the global fuel rates shot up. To combat this the Dynamic Fuel Pricing policy was introduced. The policy allowed OMCs and dealers to pass on the exact cost of petrol on a specific day directly to the consumers. This heavily reduced the pressure on the OMCs while ensuring the petrol price in Pune on a given day was in sync with the global price of petrol.
While GST (Goods and Services Tax) is levied on most items, it does not form a part of the petrol price structure. As a result, GST does not impact the petrol price in Pune.
