Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>With effect from Thursday (September 15) pump price for petrol has reduced to K1,746 per litre from K1,946 \u2014 representing a 10.28%. This comes after another reduction that was effected last month from K1,999 to K1,946 per litre. However, the price for diesel is still at K1,920 per litre, as according to a notice from Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA).<\/p>\n

Paraffin for industrial use has also been maintained K1,261 per litre while the price for liquefied petroleum gas has been reduced with 4.62%, from K2,726 to K2,600. While applauding the decision made, some Lilongwe citizens bemoaned that both petrol and diesel are scarce in the Capital City.<\/p>\n

There are also long queues for diesel in Blantyre while petrol is available, with some residents hoping once diesel would be readily available, it should not affect availability of petrol.<\/p>\n
