Today's Diesel Price in Jaipur

Indian fuel retailers have been asked to follow the dynamic fuel pricing methodology in order to update fuel prices. This system is called dynamic fuel pricing system. India introduced it in the month of June after executing a 40-day trial in 4 cities. Therefore, fuel prices in Jaipur will change daily based on overseas crude oil rate variations under dynamic fuel pricing. It is a fully revised form of the previous fuel revision methodology. It is advantageous to oil selling companies, dealers, fuel buyers, the state government and the central government.

Why Dynamic Fuel Pricing

1. Dynamic fuel pricing will align diesel users to overseas market dynamics. Speculative market elements can be reduced.
2. The fuel retailing sector in India may be aligned to international markets. The new system reduces the influence of the working capital on fuel companies.
3. The daily revision system attracts the contribution of privately-held companies in the fuel retailing sector. Therefore, the best practices may be launched in the fuel retailing sector.
4. It also minimizes the political pressure on fuel pricing, thereby brings 100% transparency in the revision of the diesel price in Jaipur.
5. The daily revision system is basically an international practice followed in several advanced markets such as Japan, Australia and the United States of America.
6. There are a few countries where fuel rates will vary twice or thrice in a single day.

Assessment of Diesel Price in Jaipur

The diesel rate in Jaipur will be assessed by oil marketing companies in the country. The price will be reset based on the movements in the price influencers. In general, the diesel price encompasses the central levy, the local tax (VAT), the commission levied by dealers, the cost of crude oil, the pollution cess etc. As of 26 March 2018, the cost of crude oil per litre worked out to be Rs.26.40 per litre. The overall amount of expenses spent by OMCs worked to be Rs.8.40 per litre. The Central Government's tax was Rs.15.33 on diesel per litre.

Why do Diesel Prices Change in Jaipur?

The diesel price in Jaipur will change if there are any changes in the INR-USD conversion rate and the cost price of crude oil. Since unrefined oil is globally transacted, the value of the currency of India against the price of the currency of the United States of America makes a huge impact. This conversion ratio is not domestically governed. It is sensitive to many forces including fabrication cuts, domestic and international politics, etc. Oil companies should rise fuel prices in Jaipur if the Government of India hikes the central levy. Conversely, they will reduce fuel rates if the government decreased the central-level tax.

GST vs Diesel Rate in Jaipur

Let's first understand the GST? In India, it is primarily a tax system that levies tax at 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% on goods and commodities. The earlier indirect taxes have been subsumed under the GST system. The GST Council has been formed to govern the GST system. As of now, diesel and petrol are not taxed under the GST structure. The GST Council has kept them outside. As we all know, diesel and petrol will earn a major chunk of revenues. If diesel is taxed at the current GST rates, the diesel price in Jaipur is anticipated to drop by 22-27%. It will be a huge drop.
