 WHY DIESEL IS CHEAPER THAN PETROL IN INDIA?

Diesel fuel is heavier and less volatile than gasoline, which makes it easier to refine from crude oil. As a result, diesel tends to be cheaper than gasoline in most countries around the world.

Diesel has always been cheaper than petrol because it is used by farmers along with trucks and bus fleets. Thus, to reduce the burden on the farmers and transport fleet operators, diesel is priced lower than petrol in India.
