Motorists across the UAE could soon find some relief at the fuel pumps, as petrol prices are expected to decrease in April 2025. While the official announcement is yet to be made, market trends and expert predictions suggest that global crude oil prices may drive a slight reduction in fuel costs for the upcoming month.

Expert Predictions for April 2025

While it is too early to confirm exact figures, financial analysts speculate that the price of Super 98 petrol, currently at Dhs2.73 per litre, may fall by 5 to 10 fils. Similarly, Special 95 petrol, priced at Dhs2.61 per litre, could also witness a marginal decline. Diesel prices, which have been fluctuating over the past months, may either remain stable or see a slight reduction.

However, some analysts caution that any price drop may be short-lived if global oil markets rebound in the coming months. Ongoing economic recoveries in major economies, along with any new supply restrictions by oil-exporting countries, could influence price adjustments.

Why Petrol Prices Might Drop

The primary factor influencing a potential decline in petrol prices is the recent downward trend in global crude oil prices. Brent crude, a key benchmark for the region, has seen an 8% drop in the first quarter of 2025 due to fluctuating global demand, increased oil production from non-OPEC countries, and easing geopolitical tensions.

Additionally, Saudi Arabia is reportedly considering lowering its crude oil prices for Asian markets in April, reflecting a broader trend of price adjustments in the region. Since the UAE aligns its fuel pricing with international market trends, there is a strong possibility that motorists could see a slight dip in per-litre costs next month.

When Will the New Prices Be Announced?

The UAE Fuel Price Committee typically announces fuel prices for the upcoming month on the last day of the month. Therefore, the official petrol and diesel prices for April are expected to be confirmed on March 31.

Until then, motorists and businesses that rely on fuel should stay updated on market trends.
