Doha: After keeping the price stable for premium grade petrol for the last four months, Qatar Petroleum has increased the same for the month of October.

Price of premium grade petrol will go up from tomorrow, while price of super grade petrol and diesel will remain the same as in September, according to the new list issued by Qatar Petroleum today.

Premium grade petrol will be costlier by 5 dirhams and will cost QR2.05 per litre, while super will cost QR2.10/litre.

Price of diesel will remain the same at QR2.05 per litre.

 

In the last four months there was no change in both premium and diesel prices.

From April 2016, the Ministry of Energy and Industry had started pegging the fuel prices to the international market.

From September 2017, it is Qatar Petroleum who is announcing the monthly price list.
