Factors Influencing Retail Fuel Prices

- Local demand and supply conditions
India’s substantial reliance on crude oil imports, accounting for 85% of its consumption, renders the nation particularly susceptible to global price volatility. Geopolitical tensions, such as those involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, exacerbate these international price fluctuations.
Motorists are advised to verify current fuel prices directly at their local stations. This ensures accuracy due to potential discrepancies between online published rates and pump prices.
