Dhaka: The government has decided to keep retail prices of petroleum fuel unchanged for August, meaning consumers will continue to pay the existing rates for the next month too.

According to United News of Bangladesh, a notification issued by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division on Thursday stated that the prices fixed earlier will remain in force throughout August with the approval of the competent authorities.

Under the existing rates, diesel will continue to be sold at Tk 115 per litre, octane at Tk 145 per litre, petrol at Tk 140 per litre, and kerosene at Tk 135 per litre.

The current prices were originally set through a gazette notification issued by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division on May 31, 2026, and will remain effective for August without any revision.

The government reviews domestic fuel prices periodically in line with its pricing mechanism, taking into account developments in the international oil market and other relevant factors.
