Petrol and diesel prices in India are often a topic of discussion. People often want to know in which state the most expensive fuel is available and what the reasons are behind it. Let us know important information related to this.

Impact of state government's VAT: Every state government imposes VAT (value added tax) on petrol and diesel at different rates to increase its earnings. In states where VAT rates are high, fuel prices also increase. This is the reason why the prices of petrol and diesel are different in every state.

Central Government Excise Duty: The Central Government also levies excise duty on petrol and diesel, which is the same across the country. This duty forms part of the total price of the fuel and also affects the rates of petrol and diesel.

Impact of transportation cost: Transportation cost is also involved in the process of transporting fuel from the oil depot to the petrol pump. This cost is higher in remote areas, due to which the prices of petrol and diesel are higher there. This effect is especially clearly seen in hilly and remote areas.

Impact of international market: Petrol and diesel prices are directly affected by the prices of crude oil in the international market. When crude oil prices increase, fuel becomes expensive in the country too. Due to this, the prices of petrol and diesel often fluctuate.

High prices in Southern and North-Eastern states: It is generally seen that the prices of petrol and diesel are high in the Southern states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. Apart from this, fuel is also expensive in some North-Eastern states.

Where is the most expensive petrol and diesel? The most expensive petrol in the country is found in Andhra Pradesh, where the price of petrol is Rs 108.46 per liter. The price of diesel is also Rs 96.33 per liter here. After this, fuel prices are also very high in states like Telangana, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar. Various factors are involved in the prices of petrol and diesel, such as the VAT of the state government, excise duty of the central government, transportation costs, and the impact of the international market. This is the reason why fuel prices are different in every state, and in some states it is more expensive.
