How is the Petrol Price in Nellore fixed?

1. Step 1: To determine the petrol price today in Nellore, the previous day's Brent crude oil price and the value of the USD are taken into consideration. Let's assume that the value of the USD is Rs.65 and the crude oil rate is $65. Now, we shall multiply 65 with 65 to arrive at the cost price of a barrel of oil, which is Rs.4,225. This amount is divided by 159 to arrive at the cost price of a litre of crude oil, which is Rs.26.50.

1. Step 2: We have to now add the overheads spent by oil marketing companies. It is approximately Rs.8 per litre and is added to the cost price of a litre of crude oil.

1. Step 3: We have to now consider the excise duty, which is decided annually by the Central Government. As of 1 February 2018, it was Rs.19.48 per litre on petrol. The excise duty includes the road cess, which has been recently introduced.

1. Step 4: The commission charged by fuel retailers in Nellore is Rs.3.42 on petrol per litre. This is also one of the cost elements.
2. Step 5: This is the final step where the VAT and the pollution cess are taken into account. As of 4 September 2017, the VAT charged by the Government of Andhra Pradesh was 38.93% and the pollution cess was 25 paise on petrol per litre.

Determinants of Petrol Price in Nellore

Petrol rates in Nellore are affected by crude oil rates, taxes, the exchange rate, etc. Crude oil rates are sensitive to production levels, the demand for unrefined oil in overseas markets and the political moves in oil-extracting nations. Fuel prices shall increase if India and Asian countries register a healthy economic progress. They shall change based on the policies of state governments in levying taxes on petrol. If there is a hike in the central tax, oil marketing brands shall increase the fuel prices to recoup losses and earn profits.

Let's analyse the recent moves. The excise duty has been cut twice over the last 5 five month by the BJP-led government. It was lowered by Rs.2 per litre in October 2017 to control mounting fuel prices in India. Moreover, all states were intimated to decline the local tax on fuels. The State Government of Andhra Pradesh had refused to cut the local tax. Petrol prices in Nellore would have been cheaper if the State Government of Andhra Pradesh had decreased the local tax in October 2017.

Petrol Price in Nellore and GST

Most people would want to include petrol under GST. Currently, GST is not levied on petrol, including its sub-products. Since petrol and petroleum products are a major revenue source for the central and state governments, they have not been brought under GST.

Even though the GST Council proposes to tax petrol at the highest rate, which is 28%, the current petrol rate in Nellore shall reduce by 20-25% approximately. Market watchers say "Bringing petrol under GST makes the Indian tax system seamless." The GST Council retains the right whether or not to bring petrol under GST. If GST is to be imposed on petrol, the prevailing tax rates are required to be modified a little to match the government's requirements.
