BPC Increases Fuel Supply to Meet Rising Demand
Published : 15:02, 20 April 2026
Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) has decided to increase the supply of fuel oil in the country, considering the growing demand.
According to a notification issued on Sunday, the supply of diesel and petrol has been increased by 10 percent, while the supply of octane has been raised by 20 percent. The decision will come into effect from Monday.
The notification said that necessary instructions have already been issued to the concerned marketing companies to ensure the increased supply of fuel.
Sources at BPC said that until now, fuel supply was being determined based on the sales volume recorded during the same period of the previous year. The new decision increases the supply limit.
Officials concerned said the initiative has been taken to meet current demand and maintain a stable supply system.
Meanwhile, the President of the Bangladesh Petrol Pump Owners Association, Md. Nazmul Haque welcomed the decision to increase fuel supply.
He said the government’s decision is positive, but the current increase is still not sufficient compared to existing demand. “If the supply is increased further, it will reduce consumer suffering and help eliminate the long queues at fuel stations,” he added.
