The petrol prices are decided by oil marketing companies in India. The Centre exercises control through excise duty. It also regulates prices through base prices and the cap prices at which the oil companies and dealers deal with each other.

The fuel prices in India don't come under goods and service tax. While the Centre collects excise duty, the state governments collect VAT. Since VAT is different for each state, hence the pricing.
