The price of jet fuel in Bangladesh has been increased by Tk 89.59 per liter, according to a new announcement by the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission.
Following the hike, jet fuel prices for domestic routes have risen from Tk 112.41 to Tk 202 per liter. For international routes, the price has been increased from 73.84 cents to $1.32 per liter.
BERC said the adjustment was made to align local prices with the international market. The new rates will come into effect after midnight.
This marks the second price increase in March, after an earlier hike on March 8. A separate attempt to raise prices on March 18 was briefly announced but later suspended within minutes.
The commission first introduced a formal pricing mechanism for jet fuel in May 2025, stating that prices would be adjusted monthly in line with global market trends. Prior to that, prices were set periodically by the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation.
However, this is the first time that jet fuel prices have been raised twice within a single month, reflecting growing volatility in the global energy market.
