The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has announced new fuel price floors that will take effect from April 1, 2026, with diesel set to sell at a minimum of GH¢17.10 per litre and petrol at GH¢13.30 per litre.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will also be sold at a minimum price of GH¢10.71 per kilogram during the first pricing window of April.
The revised pricing reflects ongoing fluctuations in the global oil market, largely driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which continue to impact crude oil prices worldwide.
The new price floor marks a significant increase compared to the second pricing window of March (March 16–31), when petrol, diesel, and LPG were priced at GH¢11.57, GH¢14.35, and GH¢10.67 respectively.
Under the current petroleum pricing guidelines, the price floor represents the minimum threshold at which Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies (LPGMCs) are allowed to sell fuel products. Any company that fails to comply risks facing regulatory sanctions.
The announcement comes after a period of intense price competition among OMCs in late March, and industry observers are closely watching how pricing dynamics will evolve in the new window.
The increase is expected to have broader implications for transportation costs, businesses, and overall inflation, as fuel prices remain a key driver of economic activity in Ghana.
