The new rates, which will come into effect from July 1, have been fixed and approved by relevant authorities, the ministry said.
No plan to raise fuel prices for now: Energy adviser
Earlier in June, the price of diesel was reduced from Tk 104 to Tk 102 per litre, petrol from Tk 121 to Tk 118 and octane from Tk 125 to Tk 122.
The kerosene price was, however, increased by Tk 10 to Tk 114 per litre then.
On June 24, Energy Adviser Fouzul Kabir Khan said the government had no plan to raise fuel prices at home, despite a slight increase in global oil prices due to Middle East tensions.
On June 17, Finance Adviser Salehuddin said the government is closely monitoring the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel but has no immediate plan to raise fuel prices.
