Which Areas Fall Under Class I, II, and III Fuel Pricing?

Fuel prices vary depending on the NOC's depot classification system:

Class I Depots – Lowest Fuel Prices:

• Charali
• Biratnagar
• Janakpur
• Amlekhgunj
• Bhalbari
• Nepalgunj
• Dhangadhi
• Birgunj

Class II Depots – Mid-Range Prices:

• Surkhet
• Dang

Class III Depots – Highest Prices:

• Kathmandu
• Pokhara
• Dipayal

Location matters: fuel costs more the closer you are to central hubs like Kathmandu or Pokhara.

International Aviation Fuel Gets More Expensive

For international flights out of Kathmandu, aviation fuel has been increased by USD 21 per kiloliter. However, Pokhara and Bhairahawa airports will continue to operate with prices set at the existing Breakdown Point.

What Stays Unchanged?

Not everything is getting more expensive. Some relief for households:

• LPG (cooking gas) price remains unchanged
• No revision in domestic aviation fuel pricing announced

Petrol Price Drop: What It Means for Daily Commuters

The NPR 1 drop in petrol may not sound like much, but it's a small win for two-wheeler riders and daily commuters across Nepal. With petrol above NPR 150 per litre in most areas, even a slight decrease helps ease the load.

Diesel and Kerosene Hike: Impacts on Transport & Goods

The NPR 3 rise in diesel and kerosene hits hardest for logistics, public transport, and rural areas dependent on kerosene. Expect ripple effects in:

• Bus and freight transport fares
• Goods pricing and market logistics
• Off-grid households using kerosene for lighting/cooking

Why the Price Change?

While NOC hasn’t detailed specific international market triggers, such revisions typically reflect:

• Global crude oil price shifts
• Exchange rate fluctuations
• Regional transportation and depot supply costs
