Petrol and Diesel Price in Madhya Pradesh Today

Petrol and diesel prices in India are updated daily at 6:00 AM IST. This system is known as dynamic fuel pricing (or daily price revision), which ensures that even minute variations in international crude oil prices and currency exchange rates are reflected in retail prices.

Fuel prices vary across states due to local taxes (Value Added Tax or VAT) levied by different state governments. In addition, transportation/freight costs from oil refineries to retail pumps in different regions also contribute to the price differences.

No, petroleum products (petrol, diesel, crude oil, natural gas, and aviation turbine fuel) are currently excluded from the GST regime. Instead, they are subject to Central Excise Duty and State VAT.

State-run Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) — namely Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) — determine the prices daily based on the average international rate of crude oil and foreign exchange rates.

Even within Madhya Pradesh, petrol and diesel prices vary slightly between districts. This variation is mainly due to freight charges and transportation costs involved in delivering the fuel from local oil depots or refineries to the petrol pumps in that specific district.

Fuel retail prices in Madhya Pradesh consist of the base price, dealer commission, Central Excise Duty, and the Madhya Pradesh State Value Added Tax (VAT). State VAT is percentage-based, making it one of the largest components of the retail price.
