Inflation in forex

India uses USD when importing crude oil. The USD is the most reliable forex, causing it to fluctuate in the money market. Currently, USD is soaring against the INR, making the GoI pay higher than previous crude imports. It makes you pay more for a litre of fuel in Sikkim.

Crisis in crude production

The OPEC+ nations decide the daily mining of crude resources. The current economic uncertainty looming in the west has led to lowered crude production. It was doubled by the aftermath of Covid-19 and the onslaught of the Ukrainian crisis. While these nations control crude barrels produced daily, low availability triggers higher consumer demands. As a result, increases fuel prices in the state.

Lack of uniform excise duty

The GoI is yet to declare petroleum and crude products under the GST scheme. While doing so it vastly reduces the tax margin, bringing excise duty down to 18% (9% each for state and union governments). The lack of uniform excise duty has led to dearer rates that shot the cost by 35% to 45% over the original dealer's rate from OPCs.
