Motorists to dig deeper into pockets as petrol, diesel prices rise slightly
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The prices of petrol and diesel have all increased slightly in the latest review by Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA).

In a statement released yesterday, EWURA’s Director-General Dr. James Mwainyekule said the retail prices of petrol and diesel imported through Dar es Salaam port have increased by 90/- per litre and  24/- per litre respectively compared to the prices that were published on 5th April 2023.

The price of kerosene however decreased by 99/-litre compared to the price that was published on 5th April 2023.

The new cap prices will be effective from today May 3, 2023 till the announcement of new price caps by the energy regulator next month.

Dr. James Mwainyekule said the changes in local prices are mainly attributed to changes in the world oil market prices, BPS premiums and the value of the Shilling against the US Dollar.

He said the prices differ from one location to another due to differences in recommended loading port and transportation costs.

He said for Northern regions (Tanga, Kilimanjaro, Arusha, and Manyara), retail prices of petrol and diesel for May 2023 shall continue to be the same as those that were published on 5th April 2023 as there were no new consignments of the petroleum products that received through Tanga port in April 2023.

“Moreover, for kerosene, Petrol Station Operators in the Northern regions are advised to source the product from Dar es Salaam. Therefore, the retail prices of kerosene for those regions are based on the cost of the product received through Dar es Salaam port and the transport cost to the respective regions,” Dr. Mwainyekule said.

For Southern regions (Mtwara, Lindi, and Ruvuma), retail prices of petrol and diesel for May 2023 shall continue to be the same as those that were published on 5th April 2023 due to the fact that there were no new consignments of the petroleum products that were received through Mtwara port in April 2023.

“Further, due to the unavailability of kerosene at Mtwara storage terminals, Petrol Station Operators in the Southern regions are advised to source kerosene from Dar es Salaam,” he added.

The new cap prices will be effective from today May 3, 2023 till the announcement of new price caps by the energy regulator next month.
