Abstract: The Indian street food sector represents a vast informal economy consumed by millions daily, yet little primary evidence exists on what drives purchase decisions in this context. This study investigates how food hygiene perception, price fairness, and vendor trust—alongside health consciousness as an additional predictor—influence consumers' intention to purchase Indian street food. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire (40 items across five constructs) administered online in March 2026. A total of 113 complete responses were retained. All five scales achieved acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.750–0.881). Food hygiene perception was the strongest predictor of purchase intention (r = 0.508; β = 0.306), followed by price fairness (r = 0.413; β = 0.195), health consciousness (r = 0.343; β = 0.195), and vendor trust (r = 0.464; β = 0.130). The four-predictor regression model explained 38.6% of the variance in purchase intention (R² = 0.386). Perceived hygiene is the single most powerful determinant of street food purchase intention. Vendors and regulators should prioritise visible, observable hygiene practices.
