Changes in petrol price in Hoshiarpur occur due to plenty of reasons, which include:

• Global crude prices: The main component in petroleum processing is crude oil, which is significantly imported by India. Thus, shifts in crude oil prices internationally, leads to fluctuations in India’s petrol prices. This impact passes on to the petrol rate in Hoshiarpur. 
• Refinery costs: Costs of refining crucially determine the retail price of petrol. Any changes in the refining process or supply chain disruptions can lead to higher petrol rates. 
• Rupee- Dollar exchange rates: Since India predominantly transacts in US dollars while trading crude oil, fluctuations in the exchange rates may impact retail price of petrol. For instance, as the Indian Rupee weakens against the US Dollar, the total cost of purchasing crude oil internationally rises. This leads to higher petrol prices in Hoshiarpur.
• Taxes: The petrol price in India and its states are exposed to a central excise duty and a state tax along with other charges. For instance, in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur, the state imposes a ₹2050/KL (cess)+ Rs.₹0.10 per Litre (Urban Transport Fund) + ₹0.25 per Litre (Special Infrastructure Development Fee)+16.58% VAT plus 10% additional tax  or ₹14.93/Litre whichever is higher. Fluctuations in the tax rates can impact Hoshiarpur’s petrol price. 
• Geopolitical events: Conflicts in oil-producing regions disrupt supply, causing sharp global price spikes.
