The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) announced on Tuesday that jet fuel prices for both domestic and international routes have been increased by nearly 90 taka per liter. According to the official notification, the new rates will take effect from midnight. The domestic jet fuel price has been raised from 112.41 taka to 202.29 taka per liter, marking an increase of 89.88 taka or about 80 percent. For international flights, the price has been adjusted from 0.7384 to 1.3216 US dollars per liter, a rise of approximately 79 percent.

BERC officials stated that the adjustment was made to align with current market conditions, import costs, and international fuel prices. The new rates will remain in effect until further notice.

The decision reflects the regulator’s response to global energy market fluctuations and rising import expenses, which have influenced domestic fuel pricing structures.
