The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has released new Ex-Pump Price Floors for petroleum products for the period June 16 to June 30, 2026, setting the minimum benchmark prices that Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies (LPGMCs) must observe during the pricing window.
According to the NPA, the revised price floors are intended to guide the downstream petroleum market in line with the Petroleum Product Pricing Guidelines (PPPG). The regulator has urged all industry players to comply with the approved rates for the period under review.
Petrol, Diesel and LPG Price Floors Announced
Under the latest pricing schedule, petrol has been assigned an ex-pump price floor of GHS 13.39 per litre, while diesel will sell at a minimum price floor of GHS 15.11 per litre. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been set at GHS 13.23 per kilogram.
The NPA also announced a price floor of GHS 14.22 per litre for Marine Gas Oil (MGO Local), while kerosene has been pegged at GHS 12.97 per litre.
The figures establish the minimum pricing benchmark for the second half of June and are expected to influence pump prices across the country.
The regulator clarified that the published ex-pump price floors do not include premiums charged by International Oil Trading Companies (IOTCs), operating margins of Bulk Import, Distribution and Export Companies (BIDECs), or the marketers’ and dealers’ margins applied by OMCs and LPGMCs.
These components will be determined independently by market participants in accordance with the PPPG framework.
As a result, actual retail prices may vary among fuel retailers depending on operational costs, supply arrangements and competitive market conditions.
Market Watches Impact on Fuel Prices
The latest price floors come at a time when consumers and businesses continue to monitor developments in global crude oil markets and exchange rate movements, both of which remain key drivers of fuel pricing in Ghana.
Diesel remains the highest-priced product under the new schedule, reflecting ongoing cost pressures within the petroleum supply chain.
Industry analysts expect the new pricing window to shape retail fuel prices and transportation costs over the remainder of June.
The NPA's latest directive reinforces its role in ensuring transparency and stability in Ghana’s deregulated petroleum sector while balancing market competition with consumer protection.
