The government has decided to keep fuel prices unchanged for May, according to a notification issued recently by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division.
Under the latest rates effective from May 1, diesel will remain at Tk 115 per litre, kerosene at Tk 130, octane at Tk 140, and petrol at Tk 135 throughout the month.
The prices were last revised on April 18, when the government increased rates: diesel rose by Tk 15, octane by Tk 20, petrol by Tk 19, and kerosene by Tk 18.
Domestic fuel prices are reviewed monthly, considering international market trends, import costs, and supply conditions, said the notification.
The notification mentioned that the decision to retain current rates was made after assessing the global market situation and supply outlook.
