The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has increased the minimum price levels for petroleum products for the second pricing window of February 2026.
The new price floor takes effect from February 16 to 28, 2026.
Under the directive, no Oil Marketing Company (OMC) is permitted to sell petrol below GH¢10.24 for the next two weeks.
This represents an increase over the first pricing window, during which the price floor was GH¢9.99.
Diesel has also been increased from GH¢10.95 in the previous window to GH¢11.34 for the February 16–28 period.
The price floor for LPG has also been raised to GH¢9.43 per kilogram.
Under the new thresholds, no OMC or LPG Marketing Company (LPGMC) may sell petroleum products below the approved price floors during the period.
The development means companies currently selling below these levels will be required to adjust pump prices upward to comply with the directive.
It could also force several OMCs to increase prices, including those that had initially planned to keep prices unchanged due to competition.
