RON97, unsubsidised RON95, diesel up 35 sen
These prices will be in effect until Sept 23.
The finance ministry announced an increase of 35 sen per litre for RON97 petrol, unsubsidised RON95, and diesel, effective tomorrow. RON97 will now cost RM4.85 per litre, unsubsidised RON95 will be RM4.37 per litre, and subsidised diesel will be RM5.27 per litre. The BUDI95 scheme will keep RON95 at RM1.99 per litre, while the BUDI Diesel initiative will maintain diesel at RM2.10 per litre.
Subsidised petrol under SKPS will stay at RM2.05 per litre, and subsidised diesel under SKDS will be RM2.15 per litre. These price changes will last until September 23. The ministry cited a significant rise in global crude oil prices due to renewed US-Iran tensions and potential disruptions in petroleum supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
It also noted that global markets for refined petroleum products were tight. The government pledged to protect the public and businesses from global uncertainty by maintaining targeted BUDI Madani subsidies for eligible consumers. Starting September 1, the monthly quota for BUDI95 and BUDI Diesel was raised to 300 litres, with eligible diesel-powered pickup trucks and four-wheel-drive vehicles receiving an additional 100 litres, totaling 400 litres.
