How are Petrol Prices in Tamil Nadu Computed?
Different components of the price breakup of petrol in Tamil Nadu include the followings:
- RSP= Price of crude oil (includes freights) + the primary excise + Refinery Transfer Price + OMCs’ profit margin + commission charged by merchants + VAT + pollution cess.
- Over 80% of India’s crude oil is imported from overseas oil-producing countries. Domestic production only serves the remaining 20%. The expense acquired by Indian oil retailing companies to buy crude oil is called COB (including freight charges). Oil marketing corporations also acquire the refinery transfer price (RTP), refineries charging crude oil into petrol.
- Pump owners also charge a particular percentage of profit margin for providing petrol. This may differ within the towns of Tamil Nadu. The share imposed by petrol bunks, which are more proximate to supply stations, is smaller than that of petrol pumps far from supply stations. Among all Indian states, the central excise duty imposed on petrol is identical, but VAT changes from one state to another. As of 1 September 2017, the state government of Tamil Nadu taxes petrol by 36.04%.

- Customs Duty: It is a tax imposed by the government on imported crude oil. As of February 2021, it is charged 2.5% of the cost and freight price.
- Excise Duty: The tax that the central government imposes on petrol. It remains identical throughout the country.
- Import Charges: Import charges comprise of 3 charges: (i) insurance charges, (ii) port dues, and (iii) ocean losses. The insurance service provider (ISP) premium for the insurance cover is called insurance charges. Port dues are the charges paid for using the facilities of a port.
- Refinery Transfer Price: It price is the price repaid by oil marketing companies to refineries for buying petrol.
- Depot Price: The price paid by retail petrol owners to buy/import petrol from oil marketing companies.
- Inland Freight: It is the price paid by oil marketing companies for transporting petrol from refineries to retail markets.
Impact of GST on Petrol Rates in Tamil Nadu
The GST regime taxes all kinds of goods and services under 4 tax slabs, which are
- 5%,
- 12%,
- 18%, and
- 28%.
The lowest rate fixed by the GST Council to date is 5%, and the highest rate is 28%. 5 petroleum products, including petrol, have been kept outside the regime of GST. Even though petrol is taxed at the highest rate, the state and central governments’ revenue will be significantly affected. Hence, the GST structure does not impact petrol prices in Tamil Nadu.
