EWURA Yatangaza bei mpya ya mafuta June 2026
The changes in fuel prices in the country for the month of June 2026 have been largely influenced by the ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, which began on 28th February 2026.
Attacks on oil fields, storage facilities, and refineries, along with closure of the Strait of Hormuz which handles approximately 20% of the world’s transported oil, have affected oil production and supply from the Middle East where Tanzania sources most of its products. This has equally increased shipping costs due to a shortage of cargo vessels and raised insurance premiums for cargo ships.
The increase in fuel prices is a global crisis, and Tanzania, as part of this, is taking various measures to ensure security of fuel supply in the country and maintain affordable prices to minimize economic and social impacts. In this regard, the Government has provided a subsidy of TZS 534.91/litre to reduce the price of diesel, the product used in major economic activities such as manufacturing, transportation of products and public transport. In light of this situation and the ongoing conflict, which has affected fuel infrastructure in the Middle East and endangers the security of supply in the world, citizens are advised to use fuel carefully and efficiently.
The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) hereby publish Cap Prices for petroleum products, applicable in Tanzania Mainland, effective from Wednesday, 3rd June 2026 at 12:01 am.
