BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 30. The price of
RON-92 gasoline has increased by 5 qepik, Trend reports via the Tariff Council.
In recent years, population growth in large cities and an
increase in the number of people living in suburbs have led to new
challenges related to transportation systems and mobility.
To ensure the sustainability of regular passenger transport by
road, the quality and safety of services provided to passengers, as
well as the effective organization of the work of carriers
operating in this field, taking into account advanced international
requirements and experience, in September 2025, a corresponding
decree established the Target Budget Fund “Public Transport.”
One of the sources of income forming the Fund was determined to
be a share of the road tax transferred to the Fund for each liter
of gasoline, diesel fuel, and liquefied gas.
According to amendments to the legislation, the road tax per
liter of fuel is set at 7 qepik.
In this regard, by a corresponding decision of the Tariff
(Pricing) Council, the price of 1 liter of RON-92 gasoline was
changed from 1 manat 10 qepik to 1 manat 15 qepik, and the price of
1 liter of diesel fuel was changed from 1 manat to 1 manat 10
qepik.
Part of the fuel duties will be allocated to the Public
Transport Targeted Budget Fund and will be used to improve the
quality of transport services for the population, ensure the safety
of all road users, taking into account the development prospects of
the territory, as well as improve the quality, sustainability, and
accessibility of public transport services.
Even after the tariff changes, retail prices for RON-92 gasoline
and diesel fuel remain low compared to most countries.
The decision will come into force on January 1, 2026.
The decisions can be found in the “Council Decisions” section on
the official website of the Tariff (Pricing) Council
(www.tariff.gov.az).
