Despite fluctuations in crude oil prices on the global market, today’s petrol and diesel rates in India remain unchanged. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) release the latest rates every morning at 6 a.m.
Pricing incorporates crude oil cost, rupee‑dollar exchange, central excise duty, state VAT, transportation expenses, dealer commissions and local logistics. Consequently, a few paise to a rupee variance between cities within the same state is normal.
Historical Background
India’s fuel pricing framework began with the Petroleum Marketing Regulations of 1998, mandating daily price revisions. Over the past five years, prices have swung an average of 8‑10%, driven mainly by global crude trends and currency movements.
