Why Fuel Prices Differ Across States
Fuel prices are not uniform across India. Several factors influence the final retail price:
State VAT (Value Added Tax)
Each state government imposes its own VAT rate on petrol and diesel. States with higher VAT naturally have higher retail prices.
Central Excise Duty
The Central Government levies excise duty on fuel. Although uniform across the country, it forms a significant part of the total price.
Global Crude Oil Prices
India imports more than 80% of its crude oil. Therefore, international crude price fluctuations directly affect domestic fuel rates.
Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate
Since crude oil is purchased in US dollars, currency fluctuations impact final pricing.
Transportation & Dealer Commission
Logistics costs and petrol pump dealer commissions also contribute to price variations.
Who Revises Fuel Prices in India?
Fuel prices are revised daily by government-owned oil marketing companies such as:
These companies update prices every morning at 6 AM under the dynamic pricing mechanism introduced in June 2017.
How to Check Fuel Prices in Your City

Since district-wise variations exist, checking your city’s price before refueling is always advisable.
Impact of Fuel Prices on the Indian Economy
Fuel prices have a direct impact on:
- Transportation costs
- Commodity and food prices
- Inflation levels
- Household monthly budgets
When fuel prices remain stable, inflationary pressure reduces. However, prolonged increases can affect supply chains and overall economic growth.
As of February 16, 2026, fuel prices across India remain largely stable, with noticeable variations between states due to taxation differences. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana continue to have some of the highest petrol prices, while Andaman & Nicobar Islands remain among the lowest.
Given India’s dependence on imported crude oil, future price movements will depend largely on global crude trends and exchange rate fluctuations.
