Fuel prices mostly vary across the states due to the different value added tax (VAT) rates applied in different areas. Apart from this, freight charges and local charges also play a role in deciding the rates of petrol and diesel.

Petrol and diesel prices are revised everyday at 6 am, fixed by national oil companies relying on the price of crude oil and other global factors. Earlier, the fuel rates were revised every 15 days but since 2017, the rates have been revised daily.

Apart from the crude oil rates, the Centre also regulates the fuel prices in the country through the base prices and cap prices at which the oil companies make deals with each other.
