The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) fuel price increase projection for March 2026 indicates marginal rises in petrol and diesel prices, while LPG may record a slight drop.
COPEC in its latest report dated February 24, 2026, cited rising international crude oil prices as the primary driver of the projected adjustments.
According to COPEC, petrol prices could increase by approximately 3.59 percent, while diesel is expected to rise by about 1.52 percent. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), however, is projected to decline marginally by about 1.57 percent.
The Chamber explained that the increases are largely influenced by upward trends in global fuel prices despite a slight appreciation of the Ghana cedi against the US dollar within the current pricing window.
Based on the projections, petrol may sell between GH¢11.80 and GH¢13.00 per litre, while diesel could range between GH¢12.73 and GH¢14.00 per litre.
LPG is expected to sell between GH¢11.48 and GH¢12.69 per kilogram.
Executive Secretary of COPEC, Duncan Amoah, has urged oil marketing companies to maintain stable pricing to avoid placing additional financial pressure on consumers.
