About Nepal fuel prices

Prices are set by Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), the state-owned petroleum monopoly. NOC imports from Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and publishes retail selling prices inclusive of VAT.

Rates are revised every 1–2 weeks, or whenever the landed cost from IOC changes materially (exchange rate, global crude, or freight).

NOC groups depots into three retail bands. Band 1 (Kathmandu, Pokhara, Dipayal) carries the highest inland transport surcharge — typically NPR 2.5 per litre above Tarai border depots (Band 3).

LPG cylinders carry a flat national rate. Aviation fuel for international flights is quoted in USD per kilolitre; domestic Jet A-1 is in NPR per litre.

What affects fuel price in Nepal?

Indian Oil Corporation rates

NOC imports from IOC; export prices in INR feed directly into landed cost in Nepal.

USD / NPR exchange rate

Rupee depreciation against the dollar raises the local cost of imported fuel.

Regional transport bands

NOC sets three retail bands — Terai/border, mid-hill, and Kathmandu Valley — with inland freight added.

Taxes and duties

Customs, VAT, and other levies are included in the published retail selling price.

Global crude oil prices

International Brent/WTI benchmarks influence IOC export rates on each revision cycle.

NOC revision cycle

Prices are revised when accumulated profit/loss crosses thresholds — typically every 2–4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

01.Who sets petrol and diesel prices in Nepal?

Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), the state-owned petroleum importer, publishes official retail selling prices inclusive of VAT for petrol (MS), diesel (HSD), kerosene (SKO), LP gas, and aviation fuels.

02.Why do fuel prices differ by region?

NOC groups depots into three retail bands. Inland areas such as Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Dipayal pay slightly more than Terai border depots because of transport cost from import points.

03.How often are fuel prices revised?

NOC revises prices when the landed cost (IOC export rate plus exchange rate and duties) justifies a change — historically every two to four weeks, not daily.

04.Do published rates apply at every petrol pump?

Listed prices apply within 15 km of the reference depot. Individual pumps may display the NOC bulletin rate; always confirm at the station.

05.Can I rely on this page for transactions?

This tool is for reference. Verify the current NOC bulletin or pump display before buying fuel.
