India heavily relies on crude oil imports for petrol and diesel, making crude oil prices a significant factor affecting fuel rates. However, other factors such as increasing demand, government taxes, rupee-dollar depreciation, and refinery concept ratio also impact domestic fuel prices.
It’s important to note that fuel prices are subject to change at any time as petroleum companies like Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) frequently adjust fuel prices based on crude oil prices.
Overall, it’s essential for consumers to stay informed about fuel prices to make informed decisions about their transportation expenses.
