Here are some common factors affecting the prices of petrol and diesel in Dharwad:

  • The Dollar vs INR exchange rate: With the falling rupee against the United States dollar, the price of crude oil is rising which in turn impacts the high petrol price in Dharwad.

  • Crude oil price in international market: Crude oil is generally supplied by OPEC countries. When there is uncertainty in any of these countries, a shortage in the supply of crude oil happens. Once this happens, the price of crude oil increases in the international market. The price increase will affect the price of petrol as well.

  • Central government's excise duty: The Central Government of India important a significant amount of crude oil from foreign nations. Thus, it levies heavy excise duty on petroleum products that increases their retail price.

  • State Government's VAT tax: Another key factor that contributes to the change in the price of petrol and diesel is the imposition of the VAT tax by the State Government. Every state levies its own VAT tax on petrol. Some levy high VAT tax and some states levy low tax. This is why you see a change in the price of petrol in different cities of the country.

Therefore, if the government wants to make fuel prices more affordable for the common citizens, then they can reduce, lower, or even cut these taxes on fuel.

This is because expenditures rise significantly and savings shrink.
