Gov’t sets unsubsidised RON95 petrol price at RM2.60 a litre  – with Budi95, RM1.99 per litre for Malaysians

The finance ministry has announced the retail price of non-subsidised RON 95 petrol, setting it at RM2.60 per litre. This price, which will remain throughout the entire month of October 2025, will of course apply to those who are not eligible for the benefits provided by the targeted RON 95 subsidy.

Meanwhile, under the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) programme, all eligible Malaysian citizens with a valid driving licence will be able to buy RON 95 at RM1.99 per litre from tomorrow, September 30. According to the ministry, under Budi95, Malaysians stand to benefit from a subsidy of RM0.61 per litre, and based on the eligibility limit of 300 litres per month, this subsidy benefit amounts to up to RM183 per month per individual.

As for commercial petrol vehicles in the public land transport sector and the land freight transport sector that are eligible for subsidised RON 95 petrol, they will pay RM2.05 per litre for the fuel, as outlined under the Subsidised Petrol Control System (SKPS).

For e-hailing drivers, the government said it will work with e-hailing operators (EHO) to identify drivers eligible for additional fuel subsidy. The finance ministry, together with the land public transport agency (APAD), will finalise the application process for the additional subsidy with the EHOs this week.

The new RON 95 capped price for Malaysians replaces the previous ceiling price of RM2.05 per litre, as capped by the Malaysian government in February 2021.

The pricing announcement also revealed the weekly retail prices of all other fuels for the period September 30 to October 8, 2025, which is a longer period due to the Budi95 implementation facilitating a shorter previous week. There is no change to the pump price of RON 97 petrol until October 8, and so the fuel continues on at the RM3.21 per litre it was at last week.

Likewise, diesel prices also remain unchanged, which means that Euro 5 B10 and B20 blends continue at RM2.93 per litre, while Euro 5 B7 – which is priced 20 sen more per litre, remains at RM3.13 per litre. The retail price of diesel fuels in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan continues unchanged at RM2.15 per litre.

In general, these prices will take effect from midnight tonight until Wednesday, October 8, when the next set of fuel price updates is set to be announced. This is the 40th edition of the weekly fuel pricing format for this year, and the 351st in total since the format was introduced at the start of 2019.

    We should have implemented this system years ago as new IC with the chip has been issued to citizens for a long time. This is the best & effective way to minimize pilferage as those who abuse the system can be easily tracked & dealth with individually by the authorities.

    siapa yg bayar harga 2.60 ni? t20 ka pmx ka?
    dah katanya semua yg ada valid ic dgn lesen malaysia layak dapat 1.99/liter.
    warga asing pula memang masih tak boleh isi r95.

    jadi pi letak harga 2.60 tu utk apa?
    saya tengok ini manipulasi tahap propa semata2. nak tunjukkan dia dah bagi harga murah 61sen walaupun sebenarnya beza dari sebelum ni ialah 6sen.
