The United Arab Emirates Fuel Price Committee has announced new retail prices of petrol and diesel that will be enforced on April 1, 2026. The fuel rates this month have increased to a high rate than they were last month.
Reasons Why the Price is Increasing
The rising fuel prices are associated with the trends in the international oil market. The increase in the prices of crude oil in the global market because of the shifts in supply and demand has affected the domestic pricing in the UAE. The fuel prices in UAE are regulated monthly according to the prevailing conditions in the international market.

What This Means for Consumers
The petrol and diesel prices will be on an upswing beginning in April, which means that drivers and transport operators will encounter more expenses at the filling stations in the UAE. High increase in diesel cost can also play a role in increasing the cost of transportation and logistics of goods and services.
Monthly Pricing Review System
The Fuel Price Committee reviews the fuel prices in the UAE every month. The system tries to maintain the local retail rates in accordance with the global oil market dynamics so that the fuel prices can be displayed according to the latest global tendencies.
