Factors Affecting Diesel Prices in Bangalore

Understanding diesel pricing in India, and specifically in Bangalore, requires unpacking several key factors

World Crude Price

Petroleum product prices in India are very closely and directly linked to the price of crude oil prevailing in the international market, and since India has to import more than 80% of its requirement of crude oil, any volatility due to geopolitical issues, decisions taken by OPEC regarding their supply or economic crises anywhere in the world does reflect in domestic fuel rates.

USD–INR Exchange Rate

Crude oil is traded all over the world in U.S. dollars. If the Indian rupee gets weaker, it means imports become more expensive and thus raise the price of diesel. A stronger rupee may help keep prices steady or even bring them down.

Central Excise Duty

This is a specific tax levied by the central government. Therefore, though the actual cost of diesel varies with international prices, excise duty remains fixed unless altered by a change in government policy.

Economic Impact of Diesel Price

Diesel is the driving force of the industrial and transport sectors of India. Hence, its pricing has a cascading effect all over the economy.

Transportation & Logistics

Stable diesel prices will ensure stability in freight and passenger transport fares. Volatility will affect supply chains and add to the price of goods, mainly essentials like vegetables and groceries.

Agriculture Sector

Irrigation pumps, tractors, and harvesters are all powered by diesel. Any increase in the cost of diesel will translate into an increase in the cost of production of crops; therefore, there will be high input costs for farmers.

Petrol vs Diesel

Diesel has remained broadly steady over the past months; it is petrol that has been a bit jittery.

• Petrol carries more tax than diesel, and any changes in tax and duty will easily reflect on the price of petrol. 
• Since private vehicles consume more petrol, adjustments to rates by the government for political and environmental reasons may be made. 
• The economic role of diesel in the agriculture and transport sectors reflects a more conservative adjustment to its pricing.

Conclusion

Diesel has been priced at ₹90.99 per litre lately, offering some relief to consumers and businesses, but with the dynamism of global oil prices, currency exchange rates, and tax policies, nobody should expect stable diesel prices in Bangalore. It is a situation that calls for industrial vigilance as well as commuters’ vigilance, not to mention policymakers who might need adjustments.
