Fuel prices in the UAE are set to rise on October 1, the Ministry of Energy has announced.
The price of diesel which is used heavily in construction and industry is set to rise to Dh1.76 a litre, up from Dh1.72 this month.
All grades of petrol will be 6 fils more expensive, with Super 98 priced at Dh1.81 a litre, Special 95 at Dh1.70, and E Plus 91 at Dh1.63.
The UAE government cut its costly subsidies on fuel last year, with officials setting prices monthly, tracking the open market more closely than when the subsidies were in place.
