The interim government has readjusted the prices of fuel oil in September in line with the prices in the international market. The changes will lead to price cuts of Tk 1.25 – Tk 6 per litre in the market.
In a notice released on Saturday, 31 August, 2024, the prices of petrol and octane were cut by Tk 6 per litre, while diesel and kerosene dropped by Tk 1.25 per litre.
The new prices took effect at 12am on Saturday.
The Awami League government did not adjust prices for August in the face of widespread unrest and a mass anti-government movement. The Energy and Mineral Resources Division said no notice was issued as the price changes were minor.
The Energy Division said diesel and kerosene will sell for Tk 105.50 per litre at the retail level from Saturday instead of Tk 106.75.
The price of petrol has dropped from Tk 127 per litre to Tk 121.
The price of octane fell from Tk 131 to Tk 125 per litre.
