The main reason for the variations in petrol and diesel prices are the differences in taxes and levies imposed by state governments on both fuels. These, apart from the taxes imposed by the central government, form a bulk of the final price that a consumer is charged.

This is what has also often led to a political slugfest with central government and states where opposition parties are in power asking each other to reduce taxes to provide relief to consumers. Recently, oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan also said that the central government is using revenue generated to fund various welfare schemes in the country.

High oil prices, however, are likely to have a wider impact than just on the wallet of someone going to a fueling station. Many have begin pointing out to an impact on disposable incomes with families and increase in inflationary pressures.
