Why Karaikal's price differs from other cities
The base refinery cost, central excise (₹19.90/L) and dealer commission (₹3.77/L) are the same across India. What makes Karaikal different is Puducherry's VAT — about ₹14.58 a litre here — plus a little local freight. That is why a tankful in Karaikal can cost more or less than the same fuel in a neighbouring state.
