Why Petrol prices are not same throughout India?  

Why Petrol prices are not same throughout India?

This is because of following reasons:

There are differnt tax structures in the Indian states.
There is central tax and there is also a state tax.


So the he Petroleum products are taxed by the centre ans also by the state.

Now each state has its own tax rates. Some higher , some lower when compared to another state.

That is the reason why petrol is cheaper in one city than another.


The other reason is the transportation cost involved in supplying the petroleum products from the plant to various parts of the country.

Another reason is political, some states for taking a populist stand, intentionally keep the taxes lower.
