Gov’t to suspend GH¢1 D-Levy on diesel for October and November

The latest intervention follows earlier government measures to cushion diesel consumers, including the continuation of a GH¢2-per-litre reduction in the regulatory margin during September.

The government is set to suspend the GH¢1-per-litre Energy Sector Shortfall and Debt Repayment Levy (D-Levy) on diesel for October and November, while maintaining the existing GH¢2-per-litre relief for diesel consumers.

The decision comes ahead of the first pricing window for October, with the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) forecasting significant increases in both petrol and diesel prices.
