Bangladesh’s Minister of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, announced that the country’s fuel supply remains normal. Speaking at a press conference at his residence on Monday, March 23, 2026, the minister said fuel imports have increased by 25 percent compared to last year. He urged citizens not to panic and to purchase fuel as needed, assuring that everyone will have access to supplies.
Tuku explained that temporary supply pressure occurred because distribution was halted for two days during the Eid holidays. He added that the government continues importing fuel with subsidies to maintain stability. Meanwhile, State Minister for Road Transport and Railways, Habibur Rashid Habib, stated that security will be provided at fuel stations if necessary and that the government successfully prevented attempts to raise prices amid the perceived shortage.
Officials said the earlier concerns about fuel scarcity before Eid have been resolved, and the situation is now under control.
