Business News: Global and Domestic Factors Affecting Petrol-Disel Prices

Business News: The fluctuating prices of petrol and diesel are caused by a combination of global and domestic variables. Economic conflicts between big countries, such as the United States and China, disrupt global supply networks, lowering commerce and demand for crude oil. When demand falls, oil prices tend to fall or become unstable. Similarly, fears of inflation or evidence of a worldwide economic downturn cause a drop in crude oil prices, which is reflected in the retail price of petrol and diesel. When demand stays low due to these causes, excess oil supply forces corporations to lower prices more in order to clear stocks.

Domestically, taxes are an important factor in influencing fuel prices in India. Central and state governments charge taxes, such as excise fees, while oil corporations factor in their own costs and profit margins. Even if crude oil prices decline globally, Indian consumers may not benefit if tax rates remain constant or firms retain strong profit margins. As a result, the cost of petrol and diesel is heavily impacted by government policies and corporate decisions, rather than just crude oil prices.
