Petrol Prices in the State of West Bengal
In India, petrol is not produced domestically, it is usually sourced from the foreign countries which produce crude oil. The country secures 75% of the crude oil through foreign imports. The domestic companies in India convert the crude oil into refined petrol and diesel through a particular process which will then be distributed to the retailers and the fuel is then sold at all the fuel stations by distributors. Few of the Indian companies which cater to the crude oil requirements in the country include ONGC, Cairn India Ltd, Reliance Industries, Oil India and so on.
Usually, one barrel of Crude oil in terms of Indian Rupees comes up to INR4,200. One barrel of crude oil is equivalent to 159 litres of petrol and hence the cost per litre of crude oil is INR 26.415.
Hence the price of petrol in India has interlinked the global market prices. Any kind of increase or decrease in the prices of crude oil will have an equal effect on the prices of petrol and diesel in the domestic market. Apart from this the currency conversion ratio, the value-added tax levied by the state government which differs from one state to another also contributes to the price of the petrol.
