Petrol Hike
The fare increment stems from the recent increase in fuel prices, which took effect on April 1, 2026.
According to government communicators, the rise is linked to escalating tensions involving Iran, which have driven global crude oil prices upward.
Under the revised price floor, petrol has increased from GH¢11.57 to GH¢13.30 per litre, representing an increase of about GH¢1.73. Diesel recorded the highest rise, moving from GH¢14.35 per litre to GH¢17.10, representing an increase of GH¢2.75 over the past two weeks.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has also been adjusted upward to GH¢10.71 per kilogramme from GH¢10.67.
The Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, justified the review, stating that it is necessary to protect the market and industry players.
He added that there are currently no immediate plans to suspend the Petroleum Price Floor in the pricing of petroleum products.
