Fuel prices in India are revised on a daily basis at 6:00 am. Global oil prices play a major role in influencing the country’s fuel price revision which can be transmitted to fuel users and dealers. Price of fuel depends on several factors including international crude oil prices, Rupee to US dollar exchange rate, demand and supply chain for fuel, in addition to excise duty, value added tax (VAT), transportation among other things. Taxes like VAT vary from state to state, hence, there is no uniform fuel price for retail across the country.
