Fuel prices will remain unchanged in April, even as international rates continue to fluctuate.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division confirmed the decision in a letter sent on Tuesday, March 31, to the chairman of the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), stating that the prices of diesel, octane, petrol and kerosene will stay at current levels.
The last adjustment came on February 1, when the government reduced prices by Tk2 per litre across all major fuels.
Following that revision, diesel was set at Tk 100 per litre, octane at Tk 120, petrol at Tk 116 and kerosene at Tk 112.
Those rates were maintained through March and will continue unchanged in April.
Under the existing automatic pricing mechanism, domestic fuel prices are reviewed monthly in line with movements in the global market.
Officials said the latest decision to hold prices steady was taken in accordance with the revised “Automatic Pricing of Fuel Oil” policy, balancing international trends with domestic considerations.
As a result, consumers will continue to pay Tk 100 per litre for diesel, Tk 120 for octane, Tk 116 for petrol and Tk 112 for kerosene throughout April.
