On Wednesday, the ministry announced the new price of diesel and kerosene, raising it by Tk 15 to Tk 80 per litre. It also said Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation was losing Tk 200 million daily by selling diesel and furnace oil at lower prices. In Friday’s statement, the ministry said BPC suffered the loss, especially on account of diesel, from the beginning of 2021 due to global market volatility. It also claimed diesel price is still lower in Bangladesh than those in the neighbouring countries. The statement said diesel price was lowered by Tk 3 per litre in the last adjustment in 2016.
