The government has decided to keep fuel prices unchanged in May despite a rise in the international market.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division informed the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) of the decision through a letter on Thursday.
Under the current pricing framework, the retail price of per litre diesel is Tk115, kerosene Tk130, octane Tk140, and petrol Tk135.
Earlier on April 18, the government increased the prices of all types of fuel at the consumer level in line with the rise in global fuel prices.
The recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East following joint attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran has contributed to instability in global energy markets.
