Fuel Prices Up Again as OMCs Adjust Rates

Some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have marginally increased fuel prices as the second pricing window for January takes effect.

Leading OMCs, including state-owned GOIL and Shell, have already adjusted their petrol and diesel prices upward.

At GOIL, petrol, which sold at GH₵14.99 per litre during the first pricing window, now retails at GH₵15.74. Diesel prices have also seen a slight rise, moving from GH₵15.60 per litre to GH₵15.77.

Similarly, Shell has increased its petrol prices from GH₵15.30 per litre to GH₵15.59, while diesel has gone up from GH₵15.66 per litre to GH₵15.79. The upward adjustments are attributed to rising crude oil prices on the global market and the depreciation of the cedi.

However, not all OMCs have revised their prices yet. Star Oil continues to sell petrol at GH₵14.75 per litre and diesel at GH₵14.99. Likewise, Total Energies has maintained its prices, with petrol at GH₵15.50 and diesel at GH₵15.99.

These changes underscore the ongoing fluctuations in the fuel market, with consumers likely to feel the impact as prices continue to adjust across the industry.
