Like every day, government oil marketing companies have updated the price of petrol and diesel at 6 am today. Today, i.e. Monday, November 4, there has been no major change in the price of petrol and diesel at the national level. This means that even today you can fill fuel at the old rate. However, there is some difference in the prices of petrol and diesel in different cities.
The country’s three major government oil marketing companies – Indian Oil (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) update petrol and diesel prices every day at 6 am. This process has been going on since the year 2017. Before that, the responsibility of changing the fuel price was with the central government.
However, government oil companies are not making any major changes in the prices of petrol and diesel right now. Last time, just before the Lok Sabha elections, a big cut of Rs 2-2 per liter was seen in the prices of petrol and diesel in March. Government oil companies have not made any major changes in the prices of petrol and diesel even on November 4, 2024 (Monday). Even today, the prices of petrol and diesel remain stable. This means that consumers will be able to fill fuel at the old rates only.
GST is not levied on petrol and diesel
Petrol and diesel are currently outside the purview of GST. Value Added Tax (VAT) is levied on it, which varies according to the states. This is the reason why you will see a difference in the prices of petrol and diesel in different states. The final price of petrol is decided after adding things like excise duty, dealer commission and VAT to its retail price.
