National Petroleum Authority of Ghana

Thank you.

In business, petrol prices could fall at the pump from November 1, while diesel prices may rise marginally after the National Petroleum Authority adjusts earth price floors.

Market data obtained indicate that the petrol price floor has been reduced from 16.9 per source to 15.39 per litre for November 1. to 15 pricing window.

The diesel floor, however, has increased from 17.9 Gs to 17.41 Gs per litre.

Liquid-fired petroleum gas could also see some relief with its price floor declining from 13.98 Gs to 13.73 Gs per kilogram.

These figures are price floors, not final retail prices.

According to the National Petroleum Authority, the excluded premiums charged by international oil trading companies, operating margins of bulk import, distribution and export companies and margins charged by oil marketing companies, and LPG marketing companies.

The respective companies would determine those charges independently under the prescribed petroleum product pricing formula.

Four prices have begun edging downwards as oil marketing companies roll out new pump rates at the start of the second pricing window of April, effective today, Thursday, April 16, 2026, offering modest relief to consumers.

The changes follow revised minimum pricing benchmarks set by the National Petroleum Authority as well as recent government interventions aimed at cushioning fuel costs.

There is more in this report.

to 16 cities 10 pesos each run 95 product has also been revised downward to 14 city 67 pesos per liter from 14 cities 99 pesos per liter the new prices took effect from 8 a.m state-owned goyle has also aligned its pump prices with the updated pricing window petrol is now selling at 13 cities 27 pesos per liter down from 13 cities 30 pesos per liter while diesel has declined to 16 cities 10 pesos per liter from 17 cities 10 pesos per liter however its super xp 95 price remains unchanged at 15 cities 77 pesos per liter the reductions mark a turnaround after successive price increases in recent pricing windows largely driven by volatility in global oil markets amid tensions in the middle east the latest changes also follow government intervention to absorb two cities per liter on diesel and 36 pesos per liter on petrol aimed at cushioning consumers against rising fuel costs the The policy is expected to support further marginal reductions across the market, with more OMCs likely to review their prices in the coming days.

The development is being linked to recent regulatory measures, as well as government's efforts to cushion consumers from rising petroleum prices.

Meantime, uh, Mr. Ansah is calling on the National Petroleum Authority to sanction firms that have switched to reviewing fuel prices daily instead of following the usual two-week pricing cycle.

He joins us on Zoom.

Uh, good afternoon to you.

They are doing so because of government intentional intervention to keep prices below 20 Ghana cedis per liter, and I think it is working.

And that is why Zen has also responded to this particular intervention by reducing their price.

You've called on the National Petroleum Authority to sanction firms reviewing fuel prices daily.

What problems, um, does daily pricing create for consumers and the industry, and what should the NPA do about it?

Moving on, petrol and diesel prices are expected to decline marginally from the second window of the month, beginning on Friday, sixteenth October.

This is due to a decision by the National Petroleum Authority to review the floor prices for the window to ease pressure on consumers.

There is more in the following report.

The new price floors will take effect from October sixteenth to October thirty-one, twenty twenty-six.

The National Petroleum Authority has set petrol at sixteen point zero nine Ghana cedis per liter, down from sixteen cedis point four five Ghana cedis in the first pricing window of October, representing a decrease of zero point three six Ghana cedis or two point one nine percent.

Diesel will also record a decline of five percent, with this price floor falling from seventeen point nine seven Ghana cedis to seventeen point zero nine Ghana cedis per liter.

Meanwhile, LPG prices have increased from eleven point one zero Ghana cedis to thirteen point eight seven Ghana cedis per kilogram.

The National Petroleum Authority has set petrol at sixteen-point-zero-nine Ghana cedis per liter, down from sixteen cedis point four-five Ghana cedis in the first pricing window of October, representing a decrease of zero-point-three-six Ghana cedis or two-point-one-nine percent.

Diesel will also record a decline of five percent, with this price floor falling from seventeen-point-nine-seven Ghana cedis to seventeen-point-zero-nine Ghana cedis per liter.

Meanwhile, LPG prices have increased from eleven-point-one-zero Ghana cedis to thirteen-point-eight-seven Ghana cedis per kilogram.

There are strong indications that some of the major oil firms like Gore and Star will cut their prices from the current level of 15.20 pesos per litre to 13.39 pesos.

This is in line with the price floor set by the National Petroleum Authority for this week.

This is because these two firms have been used to working with the price floor set up by the industrial regulator due to the current market condition.

However, our checks before this morning showed they are still not sure about the expected price code for the price of diesel.

Diesel has also been increased by some significant margin from the fourteen Ghana cedis ninety-five pesewas to sixteen Ghana cedis twenty-seven pesewas.

However, their price quotes were higher than the National Petroleum Authority industry price floor set earlier this week.

It showed that a liter of petrol should not be sold below thirteen Ghana cedis twenty-eight pesewas, whilst diesel to-- shouldn't be sold below fourteen Ghana cedis thirty-five pesewas as well.

According to the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies, the increase has been influenced by rising prices of crude oil on the international market, as well as the current war in the Middle East and the recent pressure on the Ghana cedi.

That is the Minister of Local Government, Chiefancy, and Religious Affairs.

Now, the National Petroleum Authority has indicated that it is working to improve loading points at the country spot.

The limited number of loading points often result in supply challenges in the country.

Godwin Tamaklo is the Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority.

Since 2004, we believe that, and the president had bought into that vision, that the country needs a second CBM.

We believe that when you go to Kenya and others, you have the, the terminals or, you know, where, uh, you can discharge four vessels at the same time.

The movement of goods from Tema Harbor through the railway line to Mpakaadan.

We believe that we can move petroleum products through the rail infrastructure to Mpakaadan, through the barges, through Bupe, and from Bupe through pipelines, through Sablogu.
