The government raised the price of diesel, petrol, octane and kerosene by Tk20 per litre each. Diesel, the country&#8217;s most widely used fuel, now costs Tk135 per litre, up from Tk115.

According to the Energy and Mineral Resources Division, international fuel prices have more than doubled since then. However, the government kept local prices unchanged for several months to protect consumers. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/economy\/energy\/fuel-prices-hiked-tk20-litre-1548591\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This had a heavy cost. Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) lost about Tk22,875.66 crore between March and August 2026. At current world prices, BPC is losing around Tk89 on every litre of diesel, which adds up to about Tk109 crore every day. If nothing changed, the yearly loss on diesel alone could reach about Tk40,000 crore. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/economy\/energy\/fuel-prices-hiked-tk20-litre-1548591\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government also says the Tk20 increase will cut BPC&#8217;s yearly losses by about Tk10,000 crore. In other words, consumers are not paying the full rise in world prices. The government also pointed to the risk of fuel smuggling, as the old prices were lower than in neighbouring countries. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/economy\/energy\/fuel-prices-hiked-tk20-litre-1548591\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Strait of Hormuz Behind the Bangladesh Fuel Price Hike?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Partly, but not fully. Many people believe the Bangladesh fuel price hike happened only because of trouble in the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the whole picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood Tuku told Parliament in April 2026 that about 20 to 23 percent of Bangladesh&#8217;s imported fuel oil normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz. However, crude oil is a different story. Bangladesh imports around 1.3 to 1.5 million tonnes of crude oil every year from Saudi Arabia and the UAE for the Eastern Refinery. Normally, all of this crude passes through Hormuz. (<a href=\"https:\/\/tds-images.thedailystar.net\/news\/environment\/natural-resources\/energy\/news\/20-23-bangladeshs-imported-fuel-passes-through-hormuz-energy-minister-4155371\">Source: The Daily Star<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, about half of the country&#8217;s refined fuel comes through government-to-government deals with countries such as Kuwait, Malaysia, China, the UAE, Indonesia, Thailand, Oman and India. So a problem in Hormuz does not mean Bangladesh will suddenly run out of fuel. (<a href=\"https:\/\/tds-images.thedailystar.net\/news\/environment\/natural-resources\/energy\/news\/20-23-bangladeshs-imported-fuel-passes-through-hormuz-energy-minister-4155371\">Source: The Daily Star<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[Inline Image: Oil tanker at sea]<\/em><br><em>Alt text: Oil tanker route linked to the Bangladesh fuel price hike<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Red Sea Detour That Cost Tk66 Crore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Red Sea route has also hurt Bangladesh directly. Because of security risks near Bab el-Mandeb, Bangladesh Shipping Corporation&#8217;s tanker MT Ninemia had to sail around Africa. A trip that normally takes 13 to 15 days took about 50 days. (<a href=\"https:\/\/online.thedailystar.net\/business\/economy\/news\/red-sea-tensions-drive-import-costs-4272136\">Source: The Daily Star<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ship carried about 100,000 tonnes of Saudi crude oil. The longer route added around 9,000 nautical miles and could raise transport costs by up to $5.4 million, or about Tk66.63 crore. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/economy\/shipping-corps-crude-tanker-forced-long-detour-cost-rises-54m-1501711\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MT Ninemia reached the Kutubdia outer anchorage near Chattogram on 12 September 2026. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhakapost.com\/national\/482540\">Source: Dhaka Post<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Fuel Does Bangladesh Have?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In July, the Energy Ministry said the country had about 344,000 tonnes of diesel, enough for around 31 days. Octane stock covered 36 days, while petrol and jet fuel covered 20 days each. The government wants to raise reserves to 60 days first, and later to 90 days. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/bangladesh\/no-fuel-crisis-diesel-stock-reaches-344000-tonnes-energy-ministry-1495106\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, on 14 September, an Energy Division official said Bangladesh had at least 35 days of diesel stock and no break in supply. (<a href=\"https:\/\/online.thedailystar.net\/business\/economy\/news\/red-sea-tensions-drive-import-costs-4272136\">Source: The Daily Star<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Record Fuel Import Bill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bangladesh spent a record $10.63 billion on fuel imports in FY2025-26. That is more than double the $5.14 billion spent the year before. Fuel now makes up over 14 percent of the country&#8217;s total import bill. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/bangladesh\/energy\/bangladesh-spends-record-1063b-fuel-imports-fy26-1515256\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What It Means for Ordinary People<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Higher diesel prices affect much more than car owners. Buses, trucks, irrigation pumps and factories all depend on diesel. Economists warn that the increase may push up transport fares, food prices and production costs across the country. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbsnews.net\/economy\/energy\/fuel-prices-hiked-tk20-litre-1548591\">Source: The Business Standard<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the Bangladesh fuel price hike is the result of several things together: higher world oil prices, costly shipping routes, heavy BPC losses and the government&#8217;s pricing policy. Hormuz is one part of the story, not the only reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more updates, read our <a href=\"INTERNAL-LINK\">Bangladesh economy news<\/a> and <a href=\"INTERNAL-LINK\">Middle East conflict coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the new diesel price in Bangladesh?<\/strong><br>Diesel now costs Tk135 per litre, up from Tk115, from 21 September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much did petrol and octane prices increase?<\/strong><br>Both rose by Tk20 per litre.
