The UAE Fuel Price Committee has released the March 2025 fuel prices, reflecting a slight decrease compared to February. The new rates will take effect from March 1, 2025.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices for March 2025
- Super 98 Petrol: AED 2.73 per litre (down from AED 2.74 in February)
- Special 95 Petrol: AED 2.61 per litre (down from AED 2.63)
- E-Plus 91 Petrol: AED 2.54 per litre (down from AED 2.55)
- Diesel: AED 2.77 per litre (down from AED 2.82)
These marginal reductions follow a trend of slightly lower global oil prices in February, which influenced the UAE’s monthly fuel price adjustment.
Why Have Fuel Prices Decreased?
The UAE’s fuel pricing policy is directly linked to global oil price fluctuations. February saw moderate declines in crude oil prices due to changing supply-demand dynamics, leading to this slight reduction in retail fuel costs.
Key factors impacting global oil prices:
- OPEC+ production adjustments affecting supply levels
- Economic conditions and demand fluctuations worldwide
- Geopolitical developments impacting oil exports and logistics
Impact on Consumers and Economy
While the decrease in petrol and diesel prices is modest, it provides some relief to UAE residents in terms of transportation costs. The overall effect on household expenses is expected to be minimal, given the small adjustments.
The UAE will continue to review and adjust fuel prices monthly, ensuring that local prices align with international market trends.
