The petrol prices in India are revised daily, which is called the dynamic petrol pricing method. Earlier, the central government used to control the prices which were revised after every 15 days. In 2014, the government de-regulated the fuel prices, and since 2017 the rates are revised daily.

Prominent oil companies like Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation decide the rates, which are overseen by the Union petroleum and natural gas ministry's petroleum planning and analysis cell.

The oil companies decide the petrol prices based global rates, exchange rates, tax structure and other factors.

Petrol prices in states come under VAT which is charged by the state government. Since every state has different VAT, hence the pricing differs.
