The price of petrol and diesel in India has recently risen due to higher demand and firmer global crude oil prices.
The main reason for high fuel prices in India, however, is the tax levied on them. Central and state taxes account for 60% of the retail selling price of gasoline and more than 54% of the retail selling price of diesel. The excise duty on petrol is Rs 32.90 per litre, while diesel is Rs 31.80.
