Bangladesh Raises Fuel Prices, Driving Up Transport Costs Nationally
What happened
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division announced on September 21, 2026, that the prices of four fuels had been raised by Tk 20 per litre. The new prices are: Diesel at Tk 135, Kerosene at Tk 155, Octane at Tk 165, and Petrol at Tk 160. This hike is causing cost increases for goods movement, particularly at Benapole Land Port in Jashore.
