The Concept of Dynamic Fuel Pricing

Dynamic fuel pricing is a new pricing methodology implemented by Indian oil marketing companies (OMCs) including Hindustan Petroleum, Bharat Petroleum and Indian Oil to revise fuel prices on a daily basis. Prior to dynamic fuel pricing, petrol prices in India are revised on a fortnightly basis. The fortnightly-based revision was in use for more than 15 years. The average crude oil price in the international market in the past 14 days was considered to revise petrol prices. However, the method resulted in sharp rise or fall in petrol prices across India creating havoc among the end users.

To prevent sudden rise or fall of fuel prices, the Indian government has adopted dynamic fuel pricing mechanism which is a popular fuel pricing method in use in most of the developed countries. In the new methodology, the OMCs will have complete authority to review the petrol price in Hisar. The price revision will be done on a daily basis by considering global crude oil prices and the Indian rupee to US dollar exchange ratio in the yesterday’s market. The revised price will be updated at every petrol pump in Hisar by 06:00 a.m. everyday.

Benefits of Dynamic Fuel Pricing Mechanism

Computing Petrol Prices in Hisar

To understand how petrol is priced in Hisar, it is essential to be aware of the major stakeholders involved in the fuel sector. To begin with, we have crude oil exporters, the Indian oil marketing companies, fuel suppliers, the central and state governments. With respect to Hisar, Haryana state government is one of the major stakeholders.

The crude oil reserves within India are sufficient to only 10% of the nation’s oil requirements. Hence, India imports more than 90% of crude oil requirements from oil-exporting countries such as OPEC. Hence, oil exporters play a key role in the Indian fuel industry.

The Indian OMCs purchase unrefined oil from oil-exporting countries and pay them in US dollars. The crude oil is then transported across the ocean to Indian ports and from there to oil refineries. The unrefined oil is then processed to extract petrol, diesel and other fuel products. The OMCs incur all the expenses from transporting the fuel to refining it. They thus add all the expenses to the cost price of crude oil to arrive at a selling price. Petrol dealers then purchase the refined crude from OMCs, transport it from refineries to respective fuel stations. They hence add logistics costs and fuel station maintenance costs to arrive at cost without taxes.

In the final stage, state and central government taxes will be added to the price of petrol. While the central government collects excise duty on every litre of petrol sold in the country, the state government will collect value-added tax, which varies from one state to another.

Currently, the excise duty on petrol is Rs.19.48 per litre. The Haryana state government collects 17.22% of VAT on every litre of petrol sold in the state. The same tax rate is applicable in the city of Hisar.

Both the state and central governments revise the tax rates timely. Especially when the crude oil prices in the international market are shooting up, the centre considers to revise excise duty to reduce the burden on general public.

Effect of GST on Petrol Rate in Hisar

Ever since goods and services tax or GST has been implemented in India, there are a lot of apprehensions about how it affects petrol prices in India. While many expected that GST would drastically decrease petrol price, nothing has changed post the implementation. The reason – petrol, diesel and other fuel products are currently kept outside the purview of the new tax regime. Hence, they are being taxed as per the previous tax structure, which includes both state and central government taxes. Therefore, the effect of GST on petrol price in Hisar and other Indian cities is zero for now.
