Unsubsidised RON95, RON97 prices up while diesel unchanged as West Asia crisis continues

“PUTRAJAYA, April 29 – The Finance Ministry has announced an increase in the retail prices of RON97 and RON95 petrol for the April 30 to 6 May 6 2026 period, while diesel prices in Peninsular Malaysia will remain unchanged. In a media statement released today, the Madani Government attributed the adjustments to ongoing volatility in global petroleum markets, driven by the prolonged crisis in West Asia. The weekly price adjustments are based on the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM), which takes into account average international market prices from the previous week. According to the Ministry of Finance, global oil supplies and refined petroleum products continue to face constraints. Damage to production and refining facilities in West Asia is expected to require significant time for recovery, keeping petroleum prices elevated compared to pre-crisis levels. The government has urged the public to use fuel prudently to help strengthen the nation's supply stability.
