Standing at a Bharat Petroleum station, curiosity sparks a real-world question — why does petrol cost so much, and how much of it is actually tax? Angel unpacks the price structure, tax system, and policy logic that decide how fuel rates are calculated across India. 🛢️💭
ㅤ
In this episode, Angel helps explore:
✅ Average Fuel Prices: Petrol in India currently averages between ₹96 to ₹104 per litre, depending on the state.
✅ Tax Components: Around 45–55% of petrol’s price is made up of central excise duty and state VAT, both major revenue sources.
✅ Why No GST on Petrol: Fuel is kept out of GST to let both Centre and States collect separate taxes and maintain fiscal balance.
✅ How Pricing Works: Final retail price = base oil cost + freight + dealer commission + state + central taxes.
✅ Tax Slabs Overview: India follows 5 main GST slabs – 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% – but petrol & diesel are excluded.
✅ Angel’s Insight: Fuel prices reflect not just economics, but also policy, development, and the shared burden of infrastructure growth.
