Fuel prices set to go up from today; Petrol to sell at GH¢16.69 and Diesel, GH¢17.90 – COMAC
The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies has released its Outlook Report on the expected price movements for the various petroleum products from September 1 to 16, 2026.
Fuel prices are set to increase starting September 1, 2026, with petrol selling at GH¢16.69 and diesel at GH¢17.90 per litre, according to the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies' Outlook Report. Petrol prices will rise by 4.80%, while diesel prices will see a 2.10% increase. LPG is expected to decrease by 0.93%, selling at GHC 13.73 per kilogramme.
The increase in fuel prices is attributed to higher international crude oil prices and elevated costs of refined petroleum products. Despite the Ghanaian cedi appreciating by 3.64%, global crude oil and refined product prices continue to surge. However, the government has intervened to moderate diesel price increases by extending a GHC 2 per litre reduction in the regulatory margin for the first pricing window.
The National Petroleum Authority has also raised the price floor for petroleum products, setting a minimum price of GH¢14.53 for petrol and GH¢15.60 for diesel.
