The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has drafted an order with revised prices for AI-92, AI-93 gasoline, and diesel fuel, based on consumption volume and vehicle origin.
The initiative aims to maintain fuel balance in the domestic market and mitigate risks of fuel outflows and “gray” exports.
Currently, due to government price regulation, Kazakhstan has the lowest fuel and lubricants costs among Eurasian Economic Union countries. However, this leads to high risks of fuel outflows and “gray” exports to other nations.
The proposed order sets the price for AI-92 and AI-93 gasoline at 245 tenge per liter and diesel fuel at 315 tenge per liter.
Consequently, prices for gasoline and diesel fuel for Kazakhstan residents with driver’s licenses and vehicle registration will remain stable.
The Ministry of Energy also assured uninterrupted production, shipment, and replenishment of fuel and lubricants in the domestic market, ensuring a significant supply of petroleum products and stable provision of fuel and lubricants.
Earlier plans to introduce a unified price for diesel fuel at 295 tenge per liter were reported.
