Why Do Petrol and Diesel Rates Vary by City?

The variation in petrol and diesel prices across cities is primarily due to the tax structure. State governments levy varying rates of Value Added Tax (VAT) on fuel, and municipal corporations may impose local taxes. These additional taxes contribute to the significant differences in fuel prices from one city to another.
