Despite several rounds of declines in global fuel prices, the government has decided to keep retail fuel prices unchanged for July, maintaining the existing rates for diesel, kerosene, octane and petrol.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division announced the decision in a gazette notification issued on Tuesday.
According to the notification, the consumer prices of fuel fixed under a previous notification issued on May 31 will remain in effect throughout July.
Under the existing pricing structure, diesel is priced at Tk 119 per litre, kerosene at Tk 113 per litre, octane at Tk 145 per litre and petrol at Tk 140 per litre.
The notification said the unchanged rates will take effect from July 1 and remain valid until further notice.
