Carburants : les prix restent inchangés

Les prix des carburants restent inchangés. Décision prise par le Petroleum Pricing Committee (PPC), qui s’est réuni ce mercredi 6 août.

Le litre d’essence reste donc à 61,20 roupies, comme précédemment, et celui du diesel à 58,95 roupies.

Voici ce que dit la State Trading Corporation dans son communiqué : 

The Petroleum Pricing Committee (PPC) met on Wednesday 6 th August 2025 to assess the retail prices of Mogas (L’Essence) and Gas Oil (Diesel) in accordance with Regulation 8 of the Consumer Protection (Control of Price of Petroleum Products) Regulations 2011 (as amended). 

After a thorough review, the Committee recommended that the retail prices of both Mogas and Gas Oil be maintained at their current levels, in line with Regulation 5 of the above Regulations. The Committee also took note of the evolution of world prices of Mogas and Gas Oil and also considered the estimated deficit of Rs 2.7 billion in the Price Stabilisation Account (PSA) of Gas Oil. 

Mogas (L’Essence) – The Retail Price of Mogas has been calculated using the actual prices for May to July 2025 and the future prices for August to October 2025. The new Reference Price of US$707.32 per metric ton and an exchange rate of Rs 46.0807/US$ results in a decrease in retail price by Rs 2.2740 per litre, that is a decrease of 3.72%. Hence, as the decrease in the calculated retail price of Mogas is less than 4%, it is maintained at its current level in accordance with Regulation 5 (1). Gas Oil (Diesel)

The Retail Price of Gas Oil has been calculated using the actual prices for May to July 2025 and the future prices for August to October 2025. The new Reference Price of US$ 87.76 per barrel and an exchange rate of Rs 46.0807/US$ results in a decrease in retail price. However, since the PSA of Gas Oil is in deficit by about Rs 2.7 billion and Regulation 5 (2) stipulates that “subject that there are funds in the PSA, the retail price of a petroleum product shall be decreased,” thus the retail price has been maintained at Rs 58.95 per litre.
