Diesel prices rose another 2.80 baht a litre at 5am on Sunday as the state Oil Fuel Fund cut the diesel price subsidy.
The increase came after the Oil Fuel Fund committee resolved on Saturday to cut the fund’s subsidy on diesel prices by 2.61 baht per litre - from 20.71 baht to 18.10 baht per litre for B7 diesel and from 22.22 baht to 19.61 baht per litre for B20 diesel.
Consequently, the B7 diesel price rose from 47.74 baht to 50.54 baht per litre. The B20 diesel price increased from 42.74 baht to 45.54 baht per litre. The prices are for the Bangkok area and exclude local taxes.
Petrol prices remain the same.
