In a breather for motorists during the Holy Month of Ramadan, the Ministry of Energy and Industry has reduced the price for diesel and super gasoline. However, the price of premium grade petrol will remain the same as that of May.
The ministry said the 95-octane super gasoline (petrol) will cost QR1.65 a litre next month instead of QR1.70 now, while the price of diesel will come down to QR1.55 a litre in June instead of QR1.60 now.
However, there will be no change in the price of premium gasoline, which will remain at QR1.60 a litre in June.
Fuel prices in Qatar were allowed to fluctuate in response to changes in the global market from May 1 last year. Every month, a special committee comprising representatives from various government bodies, would review fuel prices (gasoline and diesel) and make recommendations on proposed prices for the local market accordingly.
The monthly revision in local fuel prices followed the government's decision on fuel subsidy reforms in Qatar.
