Jaipur : Today, the prices of petrol and diesel keep changing daily in India, and this change depends on the international crude oil prices. Even in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Rajasthan, Haryana, the prices of petrol and diesel are changing on this basis. Oil prices in the state also depend on various taxes imposed by the government, such as VAT and excise duty. Due to higher taxes in Rajasthan compared to other parts of the country, prices here are slightly higher.

Due to increase in prices of petrol and diesel
When international crude oil prices increase, the prices of petrol and diesel also increase in India. At present, the prices of petrol and diesel have increased due to fluctuations in the international market. Along with this, taxes imposed by the state and central government are also the main reason for the increase in prices. Due to high VAT rates in Rajasthan, fuel prices here are higher than other states.
Expectation of relief in prices
Some time ago, the government had reduced excise duty, which brought some relief in the prices of petrol and diesel. But due to the rise in crude oil prices in the international market again, this relief did not last long. Moreover, if the government makes any cut in VAT in future or brings petroleum products under GST, the prices may come down further.
Increase in demand for petrol and diesel during Diwali
There is an increase in people’s travel during big festivals like Diwali, due to which the demand for petrol and diesel increases. Apart from this, business activities also intensify on Diwali, as people are more active in shopping and transportation related activities on this occasion. Due to this increasing demand, there may be pressure on petrol prices and an increase in rates may be seen.
