The price of 1 liter of AI-92 gasoline has been increased by AZN 0.05, and the price of diesel has been increased by AZN 0.10, APA reports.
According to a statement from the Tariff Council, the growing population of major cities in recent years and the increasing number of people settling in suburban areas have created new challenges related to transport systems and mobility.
In order to ensure the sustainability of regular passenger transportation by road, improve service quality and safety for passengers, and organize the work of carriers in line with advanced international standards and practices, the Public Transport Targeted Budget Fund was established by a relevant decree in September 2025.
One of the revenue sources for the fund is a portion of the road tax collected per liter of automobile gasoline, diesel and liquefied gas.
Under amendments to the legislation, the road tax has been set at AZN 0.07 per liter of fuel.
Accordingly, by a decision of the Tariff (Price) Council, the price of AI-92 gasoline has been increased from 1.10 manats to 1.15 manats per liter, while the price of diesel has risen from 1.00 manats to 1.10 manats per liter.
