The government has raised fuel prices by Tk 15–20 per litre across all categories, citing continued increases in global energy prices.
According to the Power Division, the revised rates took effect from midnight Saturday, aligning domestic prices with international market trends and ensuring supply stability.
Under the new structure, diesel is priced at Tk 115 per litre, octane at Tk 140, petrol at Tk 135, and kerosene at Tk 130.
The hike marks a significant increase from previous rates. Diesel rose by Tk 15 from Tk 100, while kerosene climbed Tk 18 from Tk 112. Octane saw the steepest jump, up Tk 20 from Tk 120, and petrol increased by Tk 19 from Tk 116.
Officials said the adjustment was necessary to manage rising import costs and maintain a steady fuel supply amid global volatility.
