The government has decided to keep the prices of fuel oil unchanged at the consumer level for the month of October. The Energy and Mineral Resources Division confirmed the decision on Wednesday through an official notification issued by its Operation-1 branch.

According to the notification, diesel will continue to be sold at Tk 135 per liter, octane at Tk 165 per liter, petrol at Tk 160 per liter, and kerosene at Tk 155 per liter throughout the month. Authorities noted that maintaining current rates aims to protect consumers from unnecessary market volatility and alleviate economic burdens.

Previously, fuel oil prices were adjusted on September 20 under the automated pricing mechanism aligned with international market rates. The decision to keep retail prices stable for October offers temporary relief to public transport operators, the agricultural sector, and general consumers across the country.
