Diesel Price In Hisar Today

The diesel price in Hisar is influenced by two main factors - international and domestic. While the international factors include the price for a barrel of crude oil in the global market as well as the exchange rate of the USD over INR, domestic factors include taxes, profit margins and dealer commission. Below is a detailed analysis of both the factors.

Factors Which Influence the Diesel Rate in Hisar

The Oil-Marketing Companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) import nearly 70% of crude oil to the country. These companies purchase crude oil in USD and then sell it in INR. Any fluctuations in crude oil rates, directly impact the diesel price.

1. International Factor: As mentioned, the global crude oil price is the biggest component in determining the diesel rates in Hisar and other cities of India. Oil-producing countries sell crude or unrefined oil in the global market and in turn, countries such as India refine, transport and sell refined oil in the market. The global crude oil price is influenced by any production cuts, demand for crude oil, seasonal variations, etc. The price for a barrel of crude oil increases when there's a rise in the demand for the commodity and the oil-producing countries declare a cut in production. Other main influence in determining fuel prices is the exchange rate of the USD over other emerging currencies. Whenever, there's a decrease in the value of the US dollar, the price of diesel decreases accordingly.
2. Domestic Factor: The current diesel price in Hisar is also influenced by domestic factors such as taxes, profit margins and dealer commission. OMCs add their profit margins which includes their marketing costs, freight and other charges and sell diesel to dealers or petrol pump owners. Then comes the two main domestic factors, the taxes levied by the State and the Centre. The Central Government charges excise duty, while the State implies Value Added Tax (VAT), which together represent more than 50% of the diesel rate in Hisar. While the Centre charges excise duty of Rs.15.33 for a litre of diesel, the State Government of Haryana levies 17.22% as VAT. Apart from these charges, dealers add their commission and other charges such as pollution cess as surcharge. All of this put together form the retail selling price of diesel in Hisar.

Is GST Applicable on Diesel in Hisar?

The Goods and Service Tax (GST) is the current taxation system in India. All commodities and services come under the framework of the GST. However, petroleum products including diesel and petrol have been kept away from attracting GST. Both the Centre and states rely on the revenue generated from the sale of diesel and petrol in the country. The taxes currently charged on diesel is much higher than the highest tax slab of the GST. Hence, to avoid losses on the Centre and states exchequer, diesel does not come under the ambit of the new taxation system. Therefore, GST is not applicable on diesel in Hisar.
