How are Petrol Prices in Tripura Computed?

Different components of the price breakup of petrol in Tripura 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.
• More than 75% of India’s crude oil is imported from overseas oil-producing countries. Domestic manufacturing only serves the other 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 cities of Tripura. 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.
