The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has set new minimum price floors for petroleum products for the April 1, 2026, window.
Petrol has increased from GH¢11.57 to GH¢13.30 per litre, representing about a 1.73% increase.
Diesel has shot up from GH¢14.35 per litre to GH¢17.10, representing a price increase of GH¢2.75.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has also been adjusted upward to GH¢10.71 per kilogram from the previous GH¢10.67.
This was contained in a notice to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs).
The notice read: “As per the Petroleum Products Pricing Guidelines (PPPG), all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies (LPGMCs) are entreated to comply with the above price floors for the window under consideration.”
According to the NPA, the quoted prices exclude premiums charged by International Oil Trading Companies (IOTCs), as well as the operating margins of Bulk Import, Distribution and Export Companies (BIDECs) and the marketers’ and dealers’ margins of OMCs and LPGMCs.
“These will be independently determined by the companies as pertains under the PPPG,” the notice added.
