Difference in the price of petrol and diesel in the states varies due to the tax and the cost of transportation imposed by the central and state government.

Meanwhile, the country's soaring fuel prices are unlikely to be reversed very soon. The central government is in talks with a number of oil-exporting countries about oil supply and demand, but there is no chance of fast price relief.

Petrol prices have jumped 16 times and diesel prices have increased 19 times since the end of a three-week rate revision break in the last week of September.
