On Tuesday, the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) announced the new prices. According to the latest adjustment, the price of jet fuel has been increased by approximately BDT 25 per liter.
In March, the price of jet fuel was BDT 202.29 per liter. Prior to that, it was sold at BDT 112.41 per liter. This means that within a short period, the price has nearly doubled.

BERC stated that the price adjustment was made to align with rising global fuel prices, increased import costs, and prevailing market conditions.
