Rising petrol and diesel prices are a result of higher
crude oil prices along with weakness in the rupee against the US dollar, among
other factors.
Besides global crude prices, excise duty imposed by the
Centre and VAT by the states also determine the final price that consumers have
to pay at the pump. So there is a wide variation in petrol and diesel prices
across different states. Currently, petrol in Mumbai is most expensive compared
with the rest of the country, according to Indian Oil's data on fuel prices in
metros and state capitals. At Rs. 86.08 per litre, petrol price in
Mumbai hit a fresh all-time high on Monday.
Petrol and diesel prices are the cheapest in Port Blair,
Andaman and Nicobar, compared to the rest of the country, data shows. While
petrol is sold at Rs. 67.42 per litre, diesel currently retails
at Rs. 64.8 per litre in Port Blair, as of May 28, according to
Indian Oil. With that, Port Blair, Panjim, Agartala, Aizwal
and Itanagar are the five cities with minimum petrol prices. In case of
diesel, other than Port Blair, Itanagar, Aizwal, Chandigarh
and Imphal have the minimum prices.
Here are the petrol and diesel prices across the country, as listed by Indian Oil Corporation:
