ZERA said the revised prices would remain effective for a period of two weeks.
“The petroleum prices are effective from 08 July 2026 for a period of two weeks. Government interventions continue to cushion consumers from the impact of global geopolitical developments,” the authority said.
The regulator also reminded fuel operators and consumers that the blending ratio remains at E20.
“The public and operators are advised that the blending ratio is at E20. Operators may sell the petroleum products below the prescribed prices depending on their trading advantages and should display prices in a prominent place as provided for by the fuel pricing regulations,” ZERA said.
The authority further urged stakeholders to verify all official fuel price announcements through its recognised communication platforms.
“Stakeholders are advised that the petroleum price releases by ZERA can be verified on the official ZERA website, Facebook or Twitter handle,” the statement said.
