Fossil Fuel Rates

The dataset described presents projected information on fossil fuel costs for the year 2024 across various Indian states. This information includes daily prices for four major types of fuel: gasoline, diesel, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), and CNG (compressed natural gas). The generated data volume is significant, covering 365 days of daily price records across all Indian states, resulting in a target file size of 314.78 MB. The dataset contains four key columns to store the information: "State," "Fuel," "Date," and "Rate." The "State" column contains the names of Indian states, such as Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, among others. The "Fuel" column specifies the type of fuel related to the recorded price, whether gasoline, diesel, LPG, or CNG.

The "Date" column records the exact day for each price in the format YYYY-MM-DD, covering all days of 2024. Finally, the "Rate" column holds the simulated fuel values, expressed as floating-point numbers representing the daily cost of each fuel type. The prices were randomly generated within typical market price ranges, simulating real-world fluctuations in fuel costs over time.

This dataset is particularly useful for analyzing price trends and comparing fuel costs across different regions in India. It provides a comprehensive overview that allows the identification of regional variations in fuel prices throughout the year and enables the modeling of price fluctuations. The primary purpose is to offer a tool that simulates fossil fuel price behavior, serving as a valuable reference to understand how prices may vary over time and between regions.
