Petrol prices across the country were today increased from Dh1.73 per litre of Special 95 to Dh2.14, an increase of 23.6 per cent. The revised price for Super 98 has been set at Dh2.25 and E Pluse at Dh2.07.
The price of diesel is set at Dh2.05.
These prices will be fixed for August, and will be revised by a committee on August 28. The Ministry of Energy announced on Wednesday last week it would deregulate fuel prices across the country.
A committee was then established to set future prices, chaired by the undersecretary of the Ministry of the Energy, Dr Matar Al Nyadi, alongside the undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, the chief executive of Adnoc Distribution, and the chief executive of Emirates National Oil Company (Enoc).
