Oil Fuel Fund Adjusts Subsidy Rates for Diesel and Gasoline
The Oil Fuel Fund Office has announced new subsidy rates for diesel and gasoline, effective September 25, 2026.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Oil Fuel Fund Office has finalized new adjustments to fuel subsidy rates in Thailand. Starting September 25, 2026, the fund will provide a subsidy of 4.95 baht per liter for diesel, while gasoline will be subject to a contribution of 2.44 baht per liter into the fund.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, these adjustments are significant as they directly influence fuel prices at the pump. The Oil Fuel Fund plays a critical role in stabilizing domestic energy costs, and these changes reflect the government's current strategy to manage market volatility. While the subsidy for diesel is intended to keep transportation and logistics costs lower, the contribution requirement for gasoline may lead to price fluctuations for motorists.
It remains to be confirmed how these specific adjustments will translate into final retail prices at various service stations across the country, as market competition and individual station policies can also influence the cost to consumers. Residents and visitors are advised to monitor local fuel price boards for the most accurate information regarding their specific refueling needs. The Oil Fuel Fund Office continues to monitor global energy trends to determine if further adjustments will be necessary in the coming months.
