We know that diesel is obtained from petrol. It is the fractionating column in which diesel is formed. Let's take an example of milk, if milk is at a cost of 40 which is produced by a Dairy then they take some for preparing ghee,yogurt,butter,etc.

then the left milk will be left so it is more expensive than petrol.

Taxes also play a huge role.
