The Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) has announced a reduction in the price of petrol by K463 per litre, bringing the new pump price down from K6,672 to K6,209 per litre.
In the latest fuel price review, MERA said the price of diesel will remain unchanged at K6,687 per litre.
The authority has also reduced the price of industrial kerosene by 1.97 percent, while the price of Jet A-1 fuel has been maintained.
According to MERA, Jet A-1 will continue selling at K5,439 per litre at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) and K5,423 per litre at Bakili Muluzi International Airport (BMIA).
The fuel price adjustment comes amid ongoing efforts to stabilise the energy sector and respond to changes in global oil market trends and import costs.
