Stable Fuel Prices Spark Diwali Joy

Imagine heading out for Diwali road trips without worrying about sudden fuel hikes. That’s the reality for Indian drivers as petrol and diesel prices hold steady for the fourth day on October 12, 2025. This timely stability feels like a festive gift, especially with global crude oil dipping.

Many wonder why prices aren’t dropping despite crude falling to around $59 per barrel. It’s largely due to high taxes, which account for about 55% of petrol costs and 50% for diesel. These include central excise, state VAT, and dealer commissions, keeping rates firm even as international benchmarks shift.
