The government has reduced the prices of diesel, octane, and petrol while raising the price of kerosene.
According to a notification issued by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division recently, diesel will be cheaper by Tk 2 per liter, while octane and petrol prices have each been slashed by Tk 3 per liter.
In contrast, the price of kerosene has increased by Tk 10 per liter.
With the latest adjustment, diesel will now cost Tk 102 per liter, down from Tk 104. Octane will be sold at Tk 122 per liter, down from Tk 125, and petrol will cost Tk 118 per liter, reduced from Tk 121.
Kerosene, however, will now be priced at Tk 114 per liter, up from Tk 104, creating a Tk 4-per-liter difference with petrol. This change aligns with the new pricing guideline aimed at preventing fuel adulteration.
Earlier, on May 19, the division introduced the revised Automated Fuel Pricing Guidelines, under which the price of kerosene is to be set Tk 4 lower than that of petrol per liter.
