Diesel Price in Puducherry Compared to its Neighbouring States

The price of diesel in Pondicherry is rising. However, in comparison to the rest of the country, the prices in this city are lower. While prices in many major metros and cities are approaching – and some have already passed – INR 90 per litre, Pondicherry stands at 71.44 / litre on October 15, 2018. The reason for this is that, while locals are opting for privately owned vehicles, the concept has yet to gain traction.

There is still a high reliance on public transportation, which is considered to be both cheaper and faster. In addition, the state’s VAT rate is lower when compared to other states. Third, while the influx of tourists raises the price, the total demand is low in comparison to other cities and states in India due to the city’s small size. Nonetheless, the price of diesel in Pondicherry has been steadily rising.

How often Diesel Rates are Revised in Puducherry

Yesterday, the price of a litre of diesel was Rs.69.81. It is currently Rs.70.06 per litre. There has been a 25-paise price increase. Tomorrow’s price may rise by 30 pence per litre. It’s a clear sign of dynamic fuel pricing. Fuel companies are required by dynamic fuel pricing to reset fuel prices every day in order to keep up with crude oil costs. It is a common fuel revision practice that is also used in Australia, Japan, and other countries. The practise grew in popularity on a global scale.

Factors Affecting Diesel Price in Puducherry

Although there are numerous factors that influence the price of diesel in Pondicherry, the following are the most important ones:

1. Cost Of Crude Oil
2. Rise In Demand
3. Imbalance In The Demand And Supply Cycle
4. Seasonal Demands
5. Tax

State Taxes and Diesel Price in Puducherry

In the Puducherry and Karaikal regions, VAT was levied at 28% on diesel and 21.8 per cent on diesel. In the Mahe region, an enclave of Puducherry in Kerala, the diesel tax is 23.9 per cent and the diesel tax is 18.15 per cent.

Effect of GST on Puducherry Diesel Price

GST is a current tax system, as we all know. Every customer is required to pay GST. Currently, diesel purchasers do not have to pay GST. Prices for all types of services and goods were revised following the implementation of GST. Pondicherry’s diesel rate has not been revised. It was due to the exclusion of diesel from GST. The implementation of GST on diesel will reduce fuel prices by Rs.24-30 per litre while increasing compliance costs by 100%. As a result, it must be implemented prudently in order to preserve the Central Government’s revenue.

How are Diesel Prices in Puducherry Responding to GST?

Fuel has yet to be included in the scope of GST. Many argue that keeping the traditional taxation system of levying sales tax and VAT on the price of gasoline raises the already high price even further. The addition of a road cess of INR 8 per litre has increased the tax burden. Furthermore, because VAT is levied by the state government, there are wide variations in petrol prices across the country.

Despite significant reductions in excise duty, taxes still account for nearly half of the cost of gasoline. Because of these factors, many people have demanded that petrol and fuel be brought under the purview of GST, which will make the tax uniform. According to rumours, the highest GST slab of 28 per cent will be applied to fuel an increase in state-levied VAT.
