FAQs
What is the diesel price in Guwahati today?

Why is diesel cheaper than petrol in most states?
Diesel attracts lower central excise duty and state VAT in most Indian states because it is considered an essential commercial fuel — widely used by trucks, tractors and public transport. Petrol, treated as a personal-use fuel, is taxed more heavily.
Is GST charged on diesel?
No. As of 2026, diesel (and petrol) remain outside the GST framework. You pay central excise + state VAT + dealer commission. Bringing fuel under GST has been discussed at multiple GST Council meetings but not yet implemented.
Why does diesel price change daily?
Since June 2017, PSU oil marketing companies (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL) revise retail diesel prices every day at 6 AM, based on the previous day's international crude oil price (Brent benchmark) and the USD-INR exchange rate.
What taxes are included in the Guwahati diesel price?
