BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 1. By the relevant
decision of Azerbaijan’s Tariff (Price) Council, the price of 1
liter of RON-92 gasoline has been changed from 1 manat 10 qepik
($0.610) to 1 manat 15 qepik ($0.640), Trend reports citing the
Tariff Council.
The decision entered into force on January 1, 2026.
It is noted that in recent years, the growing population of
large cities and the increase in the number of people living in
suburban areas have led to new challenges related to transport
systems and mobility. In order to ensure the sustainability of
regular passenger transportation by road, the quality and safety of
services provided to passengers, as well as the efficient
organization of carriers operating in this sector, taking into
account advanced international requirements and experience, the
Targeted Budget Fund “Public Transport” was established by a
relevant decree in September 2025. One of the sources of revenue
forming the Fund has been defined as a portion of the road tax
transferred to the Fund for each liter of motor gasoline, diesel
fuel, and liquefied gas.
Part of the funds from fuel tariffs will be directed to the
Targeted Budget Fund “Public Transport” and used to provide the
population with higher-quality transport services, ensure the
safety of all road users taking into account the prospective
development of territories, and improve the quality,
sustainability, and accessibility of public transport services.
