NPA increases price floor from September 1; Petrol to sell at GH¢14.53, diesel at GH¢15.60
This is because the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has increased the price of petroleum products that will be sold on the market from September 1 to 16, 2026.
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has announced that the prices of petroleum products will increase from September 1, 2026. Petrol will now sell at GH¢14.53 per litre, while diesel will be pegged at GH¢15.60 per litre. This represents a 4.38% increase in petrol prices and a 2.69% increase in diesel prices compared to the benchmark.
LPG has been reduced from GH¢10.98 to GH¢10.85 per kilogramme. The NPA has reminded industry players not to sell petroleum products below the approved price floor, excluding premiums and operating margins. While prices at the pumps might not necessarily increase from September 1, competition may lead to higher prices. The government has announced a one-month subsidy on diesel, but its continuation remains unclear.
