The government has left retail prices of diesel, kerosene, petrol and octane unchanged for July, extending the rates set in May despite volatility in global energy markets.
According to a notification issued by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division on Tuesday, diesel and kerosene will continue to sell at Tk115 a litre, octane at Tk145 a litre and petrol at Tk140 a litre from 1 July.
The ministry said the prices, first fixed through a notification issued on 31 May, would remain in force throughout July with the approval of the competent authority.
The latest decision follows a proposal from Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) and comes as the government continues its monthly fuel price adjustment mechanism based on international market movements.
