Petrol is primarily utilized in private transport, small vehicles, rickshaws, and two-wheelers, while diesel powers heavy vehicles, trains, and agricultural machinery such as trucks, buses, tractors, tube wells, and thrashers.
Fuel prices are reviewed and announced by the government every fortnight, with fluctuations influenced by various factors including international prices and the exchange rate of the rupee.
