Budi Diesel cash assistance stays at RM300 for April

The ministry of finance (MoF) has announced that the monthly cash assistance under the Budi Madani Diesel initiative will be maintained at RM300 for the month of April 2026. The assistance was increased from RM200 to RM300 last month.

The ministry said that payments will be disbursed from April 8, with an allocation of around RM102 million se to benefit about 340,000 recipients under the Budi Individu or Budi Agri-Komoditi (farmers) categories. The Budi Diesel programme has disbursed RM1.12 billion in cash assistance since its introduction in May 2024.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the measure is aimed at ensuring diesel users, particularly individuals and those in the agri-commodity sector, continue to receive support and are shielded from being fully exposed to higher global fuel costs.

At present, the retail price of Euro 5 B10 and B20 diesel in Peninsular Malaysia is RM5.52 per litre for the week of March 26 to April 1. This represents an 80 sen increase from last week, when it was priced at RM4.72 per litre. Euro 5 B7 diesel, which costs 20 sen more per litre, is currently priced at RM5.72 per litre.
