Historical Fuel Price Trends in India (2001-2023)


To provide the price list for petrol, diesel, LPG, and CNG gas from 2001 to 2023, I'll need to summarize the trends and major changes over this period. Given the length of the data, I'll outline the approach and then provide the data for key years or notable changes. Typically, these prices vary significantly by country, region, and even within cities. For this example, I will use an average price in a representative country, assuming data availability.

Overview Approach:

  1. Data Collection: Gather historical price data for petrol, diesel, LPG, and CNG from reliable sources like government databases, energy reports, and industry publications.
  2. Yearly Averages: Calculate the annual average prices for each type of fuel.
  3. Adjustments for Inflation: Present prices in both nominal terms and adjusted for inflation to understand real price changes over time.
  4. Key Trends and Events: Highlight major events that impacted prices, such as oil crises, economic downturns, or significant policy changes.
To provide a detailed historical price list for petrol, diesel, LPG, and CNG in India from 2001 to 2023, I will present a summarized version based on available data. Please note that the prices can vary across different states and cities due to local taxes and other factors. The prices mentioned here are approximate averages for the country.
