Influencers of Fuel Prices in Mysore

The USD/INR exchange rate is a major influencer. It tends to change frequently on a daily basis. Any deviations in the exchange rate affect the current petrol price in Mysore. The USD/INR exchange rate is influenced by the public debt and inflation rate of two countries, and the supply and demand pattern. The cost of crude oil is another influencer. Taxes also impact the fuel rate in the city. The demand for petrol has nothing to do with its price since petrol is not indigenously produced.

GST vs Fuel Rates in Mysore

What is the impact of the GST framework on fuel rates in the city? The GST system is highly debated in the country today. It does not consider petrol for taxation purposes currently. In other words, petrol users across the country do not pay GST taxes on petrol. So, the GST framework has no impact on the price of the fuel. If petrol consumers are taxed at the GST rates, the retail selling price shall drop. Eventually, the income source of the government is negatively impacted. The GST Council was asked to bring petrol under the GST mechanism. But, the final decision has to be taken by the GST council in consultation with the Indian Prime Minister.

Why are Fuel Rates increasing in India?

1. Crude oil prices have increased by 18$ per barrel last year.
2. Fuel suppliers have increased their commission by Rs.1 per litre.
3. The profit margin of oil marketing companies has increased slightly over the last year.
