In India, fuel prices vary by state but include central taxes, with the central and state governments' taxes making up nearly half of the petrol pump price. The central government's taxes account for about 24-26% of the final cost on average, while state taxes vary but make up 20-25% of the final cost, resulting in taxes accounting for approximately 50% of the total pump price. In contrast, the dealer or shop owner only earns 1-2% of the pump price as profit. For example, in Bangalore as of May 2011, out of the 71.09 rupee per liter petrol price, 17.06 rupees went to central taxes and 16.63 rupees to state taxes
