The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has reduced the price of jet fuel by Tk 22 per liter, effective from midnight on Thursday. The new rate for domestic flights has been set at Tk 205.45 per liter, down from Tk 227.08. For international flights, the price has been revised from USD 1.4806 to USD 1.3385 per liter, excluding duties and taxes.

According to the report, this decision follows three consecutive price hikes that had raised the rate by a total of Tk 132 per liter. Earlier in January, the price stood at Tk 94.93 per liter, which increased several times amid rising global fuel prices and the onset of conflict in the Middle East. The last increase in April had pushed the domestic rate to Tk 227.08 per liter.

The latest reduction marks the first downward adjustment in months, reflecting a shift in pricing policy after sustained increases earlier in the year.
