It is noteworthy that on May 25, oil companies had increased fuel prices for the fourth time in just 12 days. Due to this continuous increase, petrol in Bihar had long ago crossed the Rs 100 per liter mark, but now in many districts of the state, diesel prices have also crossed or very close to Rs 100.

Petrol and diesel prices today in major cities of Bihar

Why is there a difference in prices?

The main reason for the difference in the rates of petrol and diesel in different districts within the state is the local fare (Transportation Cost) and dealer’s commission. Due to higher transportation costs in districts like Bettiah and Motihari compared to the capital Patna, customers there have to shell out more for oil. In Bettiah today petrol is trading above ₹115 and diesel above ₹101, which is one of the most expensive rates in the state. These continuously increasing prices have completely spoiled the monthly budget of middle class families.
