The cost of crude oil in international markets plays a major role. Any increase or decrease directly impacts fuel prices in India.Currency Exchange Rates
Since crude oil is traded in US dollars, the value of the Indian Rupee against the dollar affects import costs. A weaker rupee generally leads to higher fuel prices.Demand and Supply Dynamics
Global demand, geopolitical events, and supply chain efficiency all contribute to price fluctuations.
Recent Global Developments
