Oil-producing countries cutting down on production

Globally there is a production cutback by major crude oil-producing countries. On the other hand, the demand for all forms of fuel is increasing steadily. Further, the inclusion of Central and state taxes has taken the prices to new heights.

Over the last few months, fuel prices in India is setting records every day. Petrol price is already over ₹100 and diesel is not far behind. One reason for this increasing fuel price is the increase in the cost of Brent crude. The raw material for Indian refineries has become a lot more expensive than before. There were some fluctuations but now the prices are mostly going up.

India has to import more than 80% of its crude oil consumption. So the increase in global prices shows a direct impact on the fuel price in the country.

The rising price of Brent Crude

The cost of crude oil is also increasing despite a global contraction in the economic scene. It is mostly because the oil-producing and exporting nations along with Russia have agreed to cut oil production and increase prices.

Even after multiple price revisions, petrol rates continue to be quite high. A significant portion of the high petrol cost is because of the taxes and other charges imposed by the state and Central Government. According to Indian Oil Corporation, 62% of the retail price includes taxes and other charges. Also, the increase in excise duty by the government is increasing fuel prices.

Government charging taxes to compensate revenue losses

The government is trying to justify taxes based on the compensation for loss in revenue during the lockdown. When the entire economy came to a halt the government was getting very low revenues. An estimate suggests more than 85% of the state revenue is earned from taxes. GST receipts contribute a major chunk of this revenue. As the state government can no longer revise tax rates the direct source of revenue becomes fuel and liquor.
