PUBLIC NOTICE ON CAP PRICES FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS EFFECTIVE


WEDNESDAY, 7TH FEBRUARY 2024

The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) hereby publishes Cap
Prices for petroleum products, applicable in Tanzania Mainland effective from
Wednesday, 7th February 2024 at 12:01 am. In February 2024, retail and
wholesale prices of petroleum products in Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Mtwara are as
depicted in Tables 1 and 2, respectively:

TABLE 1: RETAIL PRICES - TZS/LITRE

Dar es Salaam 3,051 3,029 2,840

Tanga 2,932.07 3,063.31 -


Mtwara 2980.37 3,220.96 -

The decrease in prices of petroleum products in February 2024 is mainly due to the
fall in the world oil prices (FOB – weighted average) by 10.66% for PMS, 11.20% for
AGO and 5.82% for Kerosene. The decrease is also attributed to a decline in
premiums for the importation of petroleum products for Dar es Salaam Port by a
weighted average of 9.69% for AGO and 1.82% for Kerosene. Moreover, premiums
for Tanga and Mtwara Ports for Petrol and Diesel have also decreased with weighted
averages of 0.69% and 11.93%, respectively. Pump prices of petroleum products for
each town, district and region are provided in Table 3.

Retailers are required to sell petroleum products at prices indicated in Table 3 while
Wholesalers are required to sell petroleum products at prices indicated in Table 2.

Legal action will be taken against any retailer or wholesaler who fails to
comply with these instructions.

EWURA would like to remind wholesalers, retailers and the general public to adhere
to the following: -
a) Cap prices can be accessed through mobile phones by dialling *152*00#
followed by the instructions provided. This service is free of charge and is
available to all mobile phone service providers in the country.

b) In line with the prevailing sector legislation (Petroleum Act, Cap. 392
Section 166), prices of petroleum products are governed by rules of demand
and supply. However, EWURA shall continue to encourage competition in the
sector by making petroleum product pricing information available including
cap prices.

c) Oil Marketing Companies are free to sell their products at a price that gives
them a competitive advantage provided that, such price does not exceed
the price cap and is not below the floor price for the relevant product as
it is computed according to the EWURA (Petroleum Products Prices
Setting) Rules that were gazetted through the Government Notices No.
57 published on 28th January 2022 and the EWURA (Petroleum Products
Prices Setting) (Amendment) Rules that were gazetted through
Government Notice No. 761A published on 30th October 2023.

d) All petrol stations are required to publish petroleum product prices on clearly
visible boards. The price boards should clearly show prices charged,
discounts offered, and any trade incentives or promotions on offer.
Consumers are encouraged to purchase from stations that sell products at the
most competitive prices and offer better services. It is an offence not to
have prices published on boards located in clearly visible places in front
of petrol stations. Failure to adhere to this directive will attract punitive
measures from EWURA.

e) Retailers must issue receipts printed from an Electronic Fiscal Pump Printer
(EFPP) for all sales that they make. In addition, consumers are required to
demand and keep receipts that clearly show the name of the petrol station,
the date on which such purchase was made as well as, the type of petroleum
product (fuel) and price per litre for every purchase they make. This can be
used as an exhibit in case of a complaint lodged if the selling price is above
the cap price or in case the products sold do not meet the approved
specifications and provides an assurance that appropriate government taxes
on sales of petroleum products are fully accounted for recovery from the
Retailers.
