The Energy Division of Bangladesh announced that there will be no shortage of petrol or octane in the country over the next two months. Joint Secretary Monir Hossain Chowdhury shared the update at a press conference held at the Secretariat on Thursday, stating that the current fuel reserves include 143,000 metric tons of diesel, 9,569 metric tons of octane, and 16,812 metric tons of petrol. He emphasized that the country currently faces no fuel crisis.
According to the Energy Division, 469,042 liters of illegally hoarded fuel have been recovered through 7,342 nationwide operations. Chowdhury noted that the government provides a subsidy of Tk 55 per liter of diesel, selling it at Tk 100 instead of Tk 155, costing the state Tk 2,000–2,500 crore monthly. He also mentioned that the government has begun pilot sales of fuel through the “Fuel Pass” system at two Dhaka stations, with plans for nationwide expansion.
Chowdhury added that the government aims to build capacity for at least three months of fuel reserves and will review consumer complaints about LPG prices.
