Differentiated prices for diesel fuel to introduce in Kazakhstan

The Ministry of Energy has developed a draft order providing for differentiated prices for diesel fuel, El.kz reports with reference to the head of the department Bolat Akchulakov.

According to the Border Service, about 4.4 thousand units of freight transport enter the Republic of Kazakhstan per day, of which about 70% is foreign transport. Low prices at gas stations of the Republic of Kazakhstan lead to an increase in average monthly consumption by approximately 120 thousand tons.

Currently, the Ministry has developed a draft order providing for differentiated prices for diesel fuel. Prices will be differentiated depending on the residence, consumption volumes and the type of transport," the minister said in the CCS.
