Who determines fuel prices in India?

Oil marketing companies (OMCs) review petrol and diesel prices on a daily basis; they then determine the rates in accordance with those for crude oil throughout the world.

Fuel rates, whether revised or unchanged, are announced at 6am each day.

Why fuel prices vary from state-to-state?

These are regulated by the central government through excise duty, base prices, and cap prices. While excise duty is collected by the Centre, value-added tax (VAT) is collected by individual states. As VAT is different for each state, fuel rates may vary accordingly.
