We would like to let you know that India is a deregulated market.
Shell India prices the fuels based on international oil prices, and the price increase has been undertaken to reflect the increase in fuel purchase costs that are borne by Shell.
However, the price increase by Shell does not reflect the actual rise in fuel costs and is only partially offsetting the increased costs.
For Shell, the pricing decision is influenced by several factors, including the Cost of bringing the fuel to the retail site (product and distribution costs) and running the service station (e.g., salaries, rent, utilities).
Additionally, States might have different taxes (for ex., VAT) on fuels; the prices vary accordingly.
The prices, therefore, may differ from city to city or even station to station to compensate for variable costs. You can check our website for more information on this.
We are constantly striving to increase value to our customers, by working on the formulation of our fuels and adhering to strict quality control for our products and accuracy of quantities dispensed.
We thank you for your patronage of our sites and hope you will continue to benefit from Shell's international fuels.
