The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced the latest fuel prices in its monthly review, coming amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran.
In a notice dated Saturday, March 14, 2026, the authority announced the maximum retail prices of petroleum products, which will take effect from March 15, 2026, to April 14, 2026.
“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th March 2026 to 14th April 2026,” EPRA noted.
According to EPRA, during the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene remain unchanged.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged,” the Authority said.
EPRA stated that the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 1.00% from US$576.34 per cubic metre in January 2026 to US$582.11 per cubic metre in February 2026; Diesel increased by 8.46% from US$586.80 per cubic metre to US$636.45 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 6.79% from US$598.82 per cubic metre to US$639.48 per cubic metre over the same period.
The Authority has considered vessels that were received and discharged between February 10, 2026, and March 9, 2026.
EPRA explained that most of these vessels are February-priced cargoes, and the effect of the situation in the Middle East has not had an effect on the prices.
