    Why is there a hike in price?
  • Mukesh Kumar Surana, head of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. had said that a sudden spike in international oil prices because of a perception of mismatch in demand and supply as well as a cut in production by Saudi was fuelling the retail price hikes.

    25-30 percent of the retail pump rates are dependent on cost and the rest are Central and State taxes.
