Why fuel prices change in India
Fuel prices in India move with global Brent and WTI benchmarks, but local policy determines how quickly global changes pass through to pump rates.
India rates are revised daily and vary by city because state VAT and logistics costs are different. Because fuel is part of transport and logistics cost, retail inflation often follows large petrol or diesel moves.
Current model: Daily dynamic pricing. Authority: Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). This is why neighboring countries can post very different prices even on the same day.
