Dhaka, Mar 06 (V7N) – In response to fears of a fuel crisis caused by reduced global supply from the Middle East, the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) has imposed strict daily fuel limits for both private and commercial vehicles.

Authorities said the limits aim to prevent panic buying and ensure fair distribution across the country. Under the new guidelines:

  • Motorcycles can collect a maximum of 2 liters of gasoline or octane per day.

  • Private cars are limited to 10 liters per day.

  • SUVs, jeeps, and microbuses can receive 20 to 25 liters daily.

  • Local buses or pickups are restricted to 70 to 80 liters of diesel per day.

  • Long-distance buses, trucks, and covered vans can take 200 to 220 liters daily at most.

BPC has also instructed that all consumers must take a receipt when refueling and show it during their next visit. Dealers will be required to provide accurate stock and sales information when collecting fuel from depots, and no dealer will be allowed to obtain fuel beyond the allotted limits.

Officials emphasized that these measures are necessary to maintain normal fuel supply and prevent artificial shortages in the country.
