Diesel and Petrol Prices Reduced
Under the new pricing structure, the maximum price of Diesel (D50) has been reduced from US$1.99 to US$1.87 per litre. Blend (E20) petrol has also been cut from US$1.98 to US$1.93 per litre.
In local currency, diesel now costs ZWG50.37 per litre, down from ZWG53.26, while Blend (E20) has fallen from ZWG53.00 to ZWG51.83 per litre.
Fuel retailers may, however, charge lower prices depending on their operating costs and commercial strategies.
Second Fuel Price Cut in Weeks
The latest adjustment marks the second reduction in fuel prices in less than a month, continuing a trend that has brought some relief to consumers.
According to ZERA, the price review reflects ongoing government measures aimed at shielding consumers from the effects of global geopolitical developments, which have continued to influence international fuel markets.
The authority reviews fuel prices every two weeks, taking into account factors such as international oil prices, exchange rate movements and other market conditions before setting the maximum pump prices.
