The rate of diesel in Chennai

A rise in the price of diesel means that you will shell out more on commuting. Since the majority of commercial vehicles run on diesel, a rise in price for this fuel will have an impact on the cost of transportation. This, in turn, can put upward pressure on the commodity prices, and taken together, can lead to an increase in the rate of inflation. In order to mitigate these inflationary pressures, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increases interest rates. This translates to higher cost of borrowing. Thus, a rise in diesel prices can have a cascading effect on the economy.
Diesel prices are governed by a host of factors, primary amongst them are the price of Brent crude and government levies. For instance, a rise in the price of Brent crude oil can lead to an increase in the price of domestic diesel.

How are diesel prices calculated in Chennai?

A cut in central excise duty helps in cooling off of elevated diesel prices. Besides, gyrations in the price of Brent crude oil can also affect the domestic price of diesel.
