NPA increases price floor from September 1; Petrol to sell at GH¢14.53, diesel at GH¢15.60
The prices of petroleum products are likely to increase at the pumps from September 1, 2026.

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) announced on August 3, 2026 that petroleum product prices will rise from September 1, 2026. The price floor for petrol will increase from GH¢13.92 to GH¢14.53 per litre, a 4.38% rise. Diesel's price floor will also increase, from GH¢15.19 to GH¢15.60 per litre, representing a 2.69% increase.
However, LPG prices will decrease from GH¢10.98 to GH¢10.85 per kilogramme. The NPA emphasized that no one should sell petroleum products below the approved price floor during the pricing window. However, the increase might not directly lead to elevated pump prices, as some OMCs have assured prices will remain unchanged at the pumps from the start of September.
Nonetheless, competition will likely influence pricing decisions this weekend and Monday, August 1, 2026. Currently, there are over 200 OMCs in Ghana, and it remains unclear if the government will extend the diesel subsidy program to other petroleum products. The relief, announced on August 3, will be in place for one month, and its continuation is under review by Energy and Green Transition Minister John Jinapor.
