The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has announced revised minimum price levels for petroleum products for the August 4 to 15, 2026 pricing window, with diesel remaining a key focus amid recent measures aimed at reducing fuel costs.
Under the new pricing framework, the ex-pump price floor for petrol has been set at GH¢14.53 per litre, while diesel is pegged at GH¢14.97 per litre. LPG will sell at a minimum price floor of GH¢11.06 per kilogram, with local marine gas oil (MGO) and kerosene set at GH¢16.08 and GH¢14.46 respectively.
The NPA said the approved floors are in line with the Petroleum Product Pricing Guidelines (PPPG) and apply to all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies (LPGMCs) during the period.
The Authority clarified that the figures do not include charges such as international oil trading premiums, Bulk Import, Distribution and Export Companies’ (BIDECs) margins, as well as marketing and dealer margins, which will be determined separately by the companies.
The latest adjustment comes amid government efforts to ease pressure on fuel consumers, particularly diesel users. Government earlier introduced a relief measure that absorbed GH¢2 per litre on diesel and GH¢0.36 per litre on petrol to reduce the impact of rising fuel costs on households, businesses and transport operators.
The intervention was announced as a temporary measure to cushion consumers from increased petroleum prices and support economic activity.
The NPA’s revised price floors will guide fuel pricing decisions at the pumps during the current window, while Oil Marketing Companies determine their final selling prices based on applicable margins and operating costs.
