About Nepal Fuel Prices
Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), a state-owned enterprise, is the sole importer and price-setter for petroleum products in Nepal. It buys from Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) under a long-standing supply agreement and revises retail rates roughly every fortnight, based on IOC import invoices and rupee-dollar exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1
Who sets fuel prices in Nepal?
Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), a state-owned monopoly importer, fixes retail prices for petrol, diesel, kerosene, and LPG across Nepal. NOC reviews rates roughly every 15 days, aligned with Indian Oil Corporation import-cost changes.
Q2
Why do prices differ by region?
NOC publishes four regional slabs — Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Surkhet, and Dipayal — with small differentials covering transport from the Indian border depot to each regional stockyard.
Q3
Is the LPG price subsidised?
Domestic LPG cylinders carry a structural subsidy cross-funded by higher petrol and diesel margins. NOC adjusts the consumer LPG price only when accumulated losses become unsustainable.
Q4
How often do NOC fuel prices change?
Petrol and diesel are reviewed every 15 days based on IOC import invoices and rupee-dollar movement. Kerosene and LPG change less often. Actual revisions depend on global crude swings.
Q5
Where does this data come from?
Prices on this page are sourced directly from Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) press releases and retail-price bulletins published on noc.org.np — the official NOC website.
Q6
What is the difference between MS and HSD fuel?
MS stands for Motor Spirit (regular petrol used in cars and motorcycles). HSD stands for High-Speed Diesel (used in trucks, buses, generators, and most commercial vehicles in Nepal).
Q7
Why is Aviation Fuel DF priced in US dollars?
Domestic Fuel (DF) for aircraft is sold at Kathmandu airport in USD per kilolitre to match international aviation-fuel conventions and NOC's dollar-denominated import invoices. Jet A-1 (TF) for turbine aircraft is priced in Nepali rupees per litre.
