On a larger scale, the final retail petrol price in Bihar is directly related to the price of crude oil on the global markets. If the cost of crude oil increases, the retail selling price of petrol also rises. As crude oil is imported and the settlement is completed in US Dollars, the USD exchange rate to the Indian Rupee (INR) also plays a big factor in determining the final petrol price in Bihar.
Furthermore, charges levied by the oil marketing companies (OMCs) for refining oil as well as the commissions for distributors also impact the petrol rate in Bihar. Moreover, the state government adds the value-added tax (VAT) while the central government imposes excise duty as part of the petrol tax in Bihar.

These factors include global cost of crude oil, USD/INR exchange rate, import and export charges, refinery charges added by oil marketing companies (OMCs), dealer commission, and the taxes (excise duty imposed by the central government and VAT levied by the state government) applicable on the product.
