Crude oil price: The price of crude oil, which serves as the primary raw material for the production of petrol and diesel, is a key determinant of the final prices of these fuels in India.

Exchange rate (INR to USD): Given that India is a significant importer of crude oil, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar have a direct impact on petrol and diesel prices. Changes in this exchange rate can influence the cost of importing crude oil, thereby affecting the final retail prices of petrol and diesel.

Taxation: Both central and state governments impose various taxes on petrol and diesel, contributing to their overall pricing in the country. These taxes can differ across different states, leading to variations in fuel prices nationwide.

Refining expenses: The process of refining crude oil into petrol and diesel incurs costs that also impact the final retail prices of these fuels. Factors such as the type of crude oil used and the efficiency of the refinery contribute to the variability in refining expenses, thereby influencing fuel prices.

Demand for petrol and diesel: Market demand for petrol and diesel plays a significant role in pricing dynamics. Increased demand can lead to upward pressure on prices, reflecting the principles of supply and demand in the energy market. Conversely, decreased demand may result in lower prices.
