Fatemeh Mohajerani said subsidized quotas remain unchanged, including 60 liters at 15,000 rials per liter and 50 liters at 30,000 rials per liter. She said the adjustment applies only to fuel bought through station cards and is aimed at rebalancing supply and demand amid a widening deficit in the fuel distribution network.

“As promised to the people, the subsidized rates will not change,” Mohajerani said.

She cited previous policies that boosted consumption and created an imbalance between supply and demand, adding that the price correction is necessary to sustain distribution and strengthen national resilience.

On the supply side, Mohajerani said the government has increased domestic production to maximize use of available capacity. On the demand side, she said authorities are simultaneously pursuing public transportation improvements and expanding compressed natural gas, or CNG, infrastructure.

Although expert meetings considered various figures, she said the final 100,000-rial rate aligns with the president’s commitment to the public.

Mohajerani said that according to data from the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Co., 85% of the population will meet their monthly fuel needs through the combined 110-liter quota. She said all revenue from the price change will be directed to public welfare support, with regular reports to be issued on the use of those funds.
