At the start of the second April 2026 pricing window, which took effect on Thursday, April 16, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have begun reducing fuel pump prices, bringing some modest relief to consumers.<\/p>\n

The price drops follow updated minimum pricing benchmarks from the National Petroleum Authority, as well as recent government measures aimed at easing fuel costs.<\/p>\n

Star Oil has adjusted its prices in line with the new benchmarks. Petrol decreased by 3 pesewas per litre, from GH\u00a213.30 to GH\u00a213.27, while diesel saw a sharper reduction of GH\u00a21.00 per litre, falling from GH\u00a217.10 to GH\u00a216.10. Its RON 95 product also dropped from GH\u00a214.99 to GH\u00a214.67 per litre. These changes took effect at 8:00 a.m.<\/p>\n

State-owned GOIL has also revised its pump prices under the updated window. Petrol now sells at GH\u00a213.27 per litre, down from GH\u00a213.30, and diesel has fallen to GH\u00a216.10 per litre from GH\u00a217.10. However, the price of its Super XP 95 remains unchanged at GH\u00a215.77. These adjustments began at 6:00 a.m.<\/p>\n

The reductions represent a shift after several consecutive price hikes in recent windows, which were largely driven by volatility in global oil markets due to tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The latest changes also follow government intervention to absorb GH\u00a22.00 per litre on diesel and GH\u00a20.36 per litre on petrol, a move intended to protect consumers from rising fuel costs. This policy is expected to support further marginal price reductions across the market, with more OMCs likely to review their rates in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
