The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has reduced the price of Jet A-1 aviation fuel for both domestic and international airlines, lowering costs by Tk 19.22 per liter for domestic carriers and US$0.1252 per liter for international operators.
Under the revised pricing, the retail price of Jet A-1 fuel for domestic airlines has been reduced to Tk 130.99 per liter, down from Tk 150.21 per liter. For international airlines, the price has been cut to US$0.8556 per liter from US$0.9808 per liter.
BERC Secretary Md. Nazrul Islam Sarkar said the revised fuel prices will come into effect from 12:00 midnight on Tuesday.
According to BERC, the latest adjustment was made based on the average Platts benchmark price for the period between June 5 and July 4, 2026. The commission also considered the prevailing US dollar exchange rate used by the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) in settling Letters of Credit (LCs) for fuel imports.
The new prices were finalized following a public hearing held on Tuesday in accordance with Sections 34(4) and 34(6) of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission Act, 2003. The hearing was convened in response to a proposal submitted by the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) and Padma Oil Company Limited (POCL).
BERC said the revised Jet A-1 prices for July reflect both international fuel market trends and exchange rate movements, with the objective of aligning domestic aviation fuel prices with prevailing import costs.
