The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has increased the minimum price floors for petrol, diesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for the second pricing window of September.
Under the new price floors, which take effect from Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the minimum price of petrol has been set at GH¢16 per litre, while diesel will have a floor price of GH¢16.77 per litre.
The minimum price for LPG has also increased to GH¢10.97 per kilogramme.
The latest figures represent increases across all three petroleum products compared with the price floors announced for the first pricing window of September.
Petrol has recorded an increase of GH¢1.47 per litre, from GH¢14.53 to GH¢16, while the diesel floor has risen by GH¢1.17, from GH¢15.60 to GH¢16.77.
The LPG price floor has increased marginally by GH¢0.12 per kilogramme, from GH¢10.85 to GH¢10.97.
Pump prices could rise further
The NPA’s minimum price floors do not necessarily represent the final prices consumers will pay at fuel stations.
Under the Petroleum Product Pricing Guidelines, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies are required to comply with the prescribed minimum price floors for each pricing window.
However, the floor prices exclude several components, including premiums charged by International Oil Trading Companies, operating margins of Bulk Import, Distribution and Export Companies, as well as marketers’ and dealers’ margins.
These additional costs are determined by the respective companies in line with the pricing guidelines.
This means actual pump prices could be higher than the NPA’s minimum price floors from Wednesday.
