Petrol, LPG edge higher as diesel price declines slightly
Petrol and LPG prices are expected to see an upward adjustment, while diesel prices are likely to decline slightly in the first pricing window of June 2026.
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) released the latest pricing outlook, factoring in movements on the international market and other prevailing market conditions. In the first pricing window of June, the petrol price floor stands at GH¢15.20 per litre, an increase of GH¢0.60 compared to the GH¢14.60 per litre recorded in the second pricing window of May. The LPG price floor is increasing to GH¢13.48 per kilogram from GH¢13.16 in the previous window, a rise of GH¢0.32. The diesel price floor is set at GH¢15.49 per litre, a drop of GH¢0.32 from the GH¢15.81 per litre recorded in the second pricing window of May. All OMCs and LPGMCs are mandated to adhere to the approved price floors for the pricing window under review, in line with the Petroleum Products Pricing Guidelines (PPPG).
The recent adjustments follow a government review of fuel relief measures. The government has removed the GH¢0.36 per litre subsidy on petrol and reduced the GH¢2.00 per litre support on diesel to GH¢1.07 per litre at the beginning of the second pricing window in May. The updated relief measures will apply for two pricing windows and may be reviewed further depending on how market conditions evolve.
