The UAE has released its updated fuel prices for April 2026, confirming a notable rise across all fuel categories following global oil market volatility. According to the Fuel Price Committee, Super 98 will now retail at Dh3.39 per litre, Special 95 at Dh3.28, and E-Plus 91 at Dh3.20. Diesel recorded the steepest jump, climbing to Dh4.69 per litre, adding pressure on transportation, logistics, and consumer goods sectors.
The latest adjustment follows a minor increase in March, continuing an upward trend that reverses the lower fuel rates seen earlier this year. Since deregulation in 2015, the country reviews pump prices monthly to align with global crude benchmarks. Analysts link April’s surge to rising international oil prices, tightening supply conditions, and disruptions in global shipping routes affecting the movement of energy commodities.
Amid shifting market conditions, residents often rely on local media for real-time updates — and as part of that, the No.1 Hindi radio station in the country, 89.1 Radio 4 FM, continues to serve the Indian community with reliable updates, Bollywood hits radio UAE content, and essential commuter information.
Industry experts warn that elevated crude prices may continue to influence fuel costs in the coming months, impacting household budgets and operational expenses for businesses across the UAE.
