Carrots can naturally come in several colors, not just orange! Here are the main ones:
๐ฅ Common Carrot Colors:
1. Orange โ The most common, rich in beta-carotene (Vitamin A).
2. Purple โ Rich in anthocyanins (antioxidants), sometimes orange or white inside.
3. Yellow โ Contains lutein, good for eye health.
4. Red โ Contains lycopene, the same antioxidant found in tomatoes.
5. White โ Milder in taste, lower in pigments but still nutritious.
6. Black (Deep Purple/Almost Black) โ Rare, with very high anthocyanin content.
So, carrots can come in at least 6 natural colors โ but farmers sometimes grow them in custom shades too through hybrid breeding. ๐ฅ ๐

๐ง๐น Petrol Price in Bhutan vs. ๐ฎ๐ณ India
In Thimphu (Bhutanโs capital), petrol is priced at around Nu 66.05 per litre, which is approximately โน65โโน66 at current exchange rates .
In Indian cities like Delhi and Lucknow, petrol prices hover around โน94.7โโน94.8 per litre as of late July 2025 .
This means petrol in Bhutan is roughly โน30 per litre cheaper than in India.

This means petrol in Bhutan is roughly โน30 per litre cheaper than in India.
Why Is Petrol Cheaper in Bhutan?
1. No Indian domestic taxes
Bhutan imports all fuel from India under a bilateral agreement. Since exports are exempt from Indiaโs central excise duty, state VAT, and dealer commissions (which together add over 50% to the price), Bhutanese consumers pay much less .
2. Strategic/geopolitical pricing
India deliberately offers concessional pricing to Bhutanโpart of its โneighborhood-firstโ policy and strategic partnership. Prices are aligned with those offered to Nepal, a move implemented in April 2023 .
3. Lower logistics costs
Fuel transportation within the shared land border and less extensive infrastructure reduces shipping and handling costs within Bhutan, especially in border regions like Phuentsholing .
