• Tax rates

• Supply and demand
  • Usually, OMCs maintain an inventory of up to 6 weeks. This helps them to maintain a balance and control prices whenever there is a large fluctuation in international rates and a reduction in local demand.
• Logistics
  • When fuel is transported to cities and towns further from the depot, the rates tend to be higher.
