It also sets the trend for an increase or decrease in rates in various other cities of India. The rates would be largely determined by the largest oil marketing companies in India, that is Indian Oil, Bharat Petrolem and Hindustan Petroleum.

Now that petrol prices in Delhi have been dergulated like many other cities in the country.
How are petrol prices in Delhi determined?

There is also an India crude basket, which largely determines the prices of Petrol in Delhi. It is always advisable to check the petrol prices, if you are planning to fill your automobile to the brim. A small change in rates can be mean a lot when you have larger volumes of diesel or petrol to fill. Diesel prices in Delhi also more or less move in a smilar way.
Increasing trend in the last few days
Lately, we have been seeing an increasing trend of petrol prices rallying in several cities. In fact, in places like Delhi they have now hit the Rs 72 per litre mark. This has happened as international prices of crude have gone higher and there is every possibility that there could be a further increase in prices.
The government has in the past cut the excise on petrol to make-up for the huge gains seen in the prices of petrol. However, any such cuts in the excise tends to impact the government’s fiscal deficit.
If the trend of an increase in Delhi prices of petrol today continues, we may soon realize that rates have now hit a three year high and this is not good news for any government.
An urgent cut in the prices of the fuel is needed to be implemented by the government at the earliest.
How petrol prices are influenced in Delhi?
Todays petrol prices in New Delhi are a result of a host of a factors that influence rates.
Among these include world prices of the fuel. At the moment Brent Crude prices are trading at $64. When these prices go higher, the India crude basket goes higher, which in turn alters the daily price of petrol in Delhi. A similar thing can be seen as far as diesel is concerned.
It is hence a good idea to check prices of the fuel before leaving your home. For the last few days there has been a declining trend at the retail level. Once petrol and diesel prices are bought under the ambit of the Goods and Services Tax, we may see these prices declining in the coming days. In the meantime, we would have to continue to pay the desired sum and wait for a fall in todays petrol rates in New Delhi.
How Petrol Prices in New Delhi Today are calculated?
Fuel rates in India depend on a host of things. Petrol prices in Delhi today depend on the India crude basket, transportation costs, value added taxes and excise duty levied by the government.
The fuel costs in the city are pretty high, though they are way lesser than what Mumbai charges. The city has one of the highest value added taxes, which has pushed petrol prices higher.
In India, when excise by the government is hiked, petrol prices in Delhi tend to increase. At the moment, excise is slightly more than Rs 21. The local government also tends to tinker with the value added tax, which tends to inflate the fuel rates.
The currency also plays a big role, in pushing the price of petrol and diesel either way. If rates tend to move in one direction heavily, the government can cut or hike rates accordingly.
Overall, it is likely that we will see sharp cuts in the prices of the fuel in the coming days. International prices have the biggest bearing and any drop in these tend to help rates cuts. Movement of the rupee against the dollar also tends to impact petrol and diesel prices accordingly.
So, for calculation of todays petrol price in Delhi one has to taken into account, excise, value added tax, India crude basket and currency movement.
