How to read it

Pump prices are what you pay at an IndianOil pump in Delhi, taxes included.
Crude is the Indian Basket price in dollars per barrel, converted at that month's average rupee–dollar rate. A barrel holds about 159 litres.
Crude is shown for context. It is not the cost of a litre of fuel: refining, freight, dealer margins, central excise and state VAT all sit between the two.

Where this comes from

Prices come from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) and IndianOil. The rupee–dollar rate is the US Federal Reserve monthly average. Open the data under the chart to see every month.
