Harare – Motorists will pay less at the pump for the next two weeks after the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority announced a fresh round of fuel price cuts effective 19 June 2026.
Diesel 50 drops to US$1.99 per litre from US$2.09, while E20 blend petrol falls to US$1.98 per litre from US$2.08. In Zimbabwe Gold, the new caps are ZWG 53.26 for diesel and ZWG 53.00 for E20.
ZERA said the adjustments reflect ongoing government interventions aimed at shielding consumers from volatility in global energy markets tied to geopolitical tensions. The regulator kept the mandatory blending ratio at E20 and reminded operators that they may sell below the set prices depending on trading advantages, but must display rates clearly at service stations.
The price schedule runs for two weeks. ZERA urged the public to check future updates on its official website and social media channels to avoid misinformation.
The cut comes as Zimbabwe continues to manage fuel pricing through a mix of import parity calculations and government support measures designed to balance affordability with supply stability.
