The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) has set daily fuel purchase limits for vehicles across the country following global energy supply disruptions caused by attacks in Iran. In a notice issued on March 6, 2026, BPC said the measure aims to prevent panic buying and ensure stable fuel distribution. Motorcycles can buy up to 2 liters of petrol or octane per day, private cars 10 liters, SUVs and microbuses 20–25 liters, pickups and local buses 70–80 liters, and long-distance buses and trucks 200–220 liters of diesel.
BPC explained that about 95 percent of Bangladesh’s fuel is imported, and recent global instability has delayed some shipments. Reports of hoarding and excessive withdrawals by dealers and consumers prompted the new restrictions. Filling stations must issue receipts showing quantity and price, and buyers must present previous bills for repeat purchases. Dealers are required to follow quotas and report depot stock and sales data.
BPC assured that fuel imports and nationwide distribution continue regularly and that sufficient buffer stocks will be built soon. It warned that selling fuel above government-fixed prices is a punishable offense.
