To minimize risks associated with disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, fuel imports are being sourced through alternative routes and suppliers. Energy Division sources reported that as of last Thursday, the country held a total of 255,018 tonnes of fuel oil. Stocks of octane, petrol, and jet fuel are also sufficient. As per a gazette issued on March 31, diesel is Tk 100 per litre, kerosene Tk 112, octane Tk 120, and petrol Tk 116. Joint Secretary (Spokesperson) of the Energy and Mineral Resources Division Monir Hossain Chowdhury said the government initially planned to import fuel mainly from the Middle East, with some from Southeast Asia.
