crude oil cost
Changes in the price of crude oil in the international market directly affect the price of crude in the domestic market; This is one of the most important factors responsible for the increase in petrol prices in the Indian domestic market. Increase in international demand, low production rates and any political unrest in the crude oil producing countries of the world seriously affect the price of petrol.
increased demand
Economic development in India and other developing countries has also increased the demand for petrol and other essential fuels in India. The number of people owning a personal vehicle has increased in recent times, which has contributed to the rise in the demand for petrol in India; Due to this, the price of petrol in India has increased.

mismatch of supply and demand
Oil refinery companies in India face problem in meeting the market demands due to high cost of input price of crude oil, resulting in less supply of petrol in the country and more demand. An increase in supply leads to a decrease in the price of petrol and vice versa. Oil refining and marketing companies maintain crude oil inventories for six weeks, which also affects the price of petrol and petroleum products.
