VAT

Any changes in petrol and diesel costs are implemented from 6 am every day. The prices of petrol and diesel change state by state, depending upon various criteria such as Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, etc. Public sector OMCs including Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise their prices daily in line with international benchmark prices and forex rates.

Since the central government reduced excise duty, some states have reduced VAT prices on fuels.

On August 24, Meghalaya increased the VAT on the fuel price resulting in petrol costing Rs 96.83 per litre in Shillong, whereas, diesel is at Rs 84.72 per litre. The city has been the last to change the fuel rates.

On January 8, 2023, the Himachal Pradesh government increased the Value-Added Tax (VAT) on diesel by Rs 3 per litre. On the other hand, the government reduced the taxes on petrol by 0.55 paise. Retail petrol and diesel prices vary from state to state, depending on several factors like freight charges, Value-Added Tax (VAT), local taxes, etc.
