The Energy Policy Administration Committee has resolved to cut the ex-refinery price of high-speed diesel by 2.40 baht per litre for 31 days, from 16 August to 15 September 2026, using surplus refining benefits from July 2026 worth 4.475 billion baht. This is the sixth time surplus benefits have been used to ease people's cost of living, totalling about 17.422 billion baht. Energy Minister Ekanat Prompan said the surplus refining benefits of six oil refinery groups in July 2026 amounted to about 9.735 billion baht. After deducting the discount approved on 23 July 2026 of 2.815 billion baht, about 6.92 billion baht remained, and after using this discount, about 2.445 billion baht will remain for further management.
