Andorra petrol prices set to fall by 20 cents and diesel by 15 from October 1
Finance Minister Ramon Lladós announces temporary measures through December
Petrol prices in Andorra are expected to fall by 20 euro cents per litre and diesel prices by 15 cents from Thursday, October 1, Finance Minister Ramon Lladós has announced. The planned reductions will combine government tax refunds with lower profit margins for private fuel operators.
Speaking at the press conference following the Council of Ministers meeting, Lladós said the Government would introduce temporary measures for October, November and December covering both petrol and diesel. The aim is to protect residents’ purchasing power and maintain Andorra’s fuel price advantage.
How much will petrol and diesel prices fall in October?
For diesel, Lladós announced an expected reduction of 15 cents per litre in October. The Government will contribute 10 cents through tax refunds, while private operators will provide the remaining 5 cents by reducing their margins.
For petrol, the expected reduction is 20 cents per litre. The minister suggested that the Government would contribute 13 cents and operators 7 cents, although he cautioned that he could not recall the exact breakdown during the press conference.
Lladós described the initiative as a shared effort by the public and private sectors to lower fuel costs for consumers.
When will fuel prices fall in Andorra?
According to the minister, the October reductions are expected to take effect on Thursday, October 1, 2026.
Lladós recalled that the Government had already updated its measures in August for implementation in September, further reducing taxes on diesel. That intervention also involved private operators adjusting their margins.
Will the same reductions remain in place until December?
The Government intends to maintain support measures throughout the final quarter of the year. However, the announced reductions of 20 cents per litre for petrol and 15 cents for diesel apply specifically to October.
Lladós said the measures would need to be adjusted as the situation developed. The announcement therefore does not establish the same reductions for November and December.
“We do not have a crystal ball,” the minister said, expressing hope that conditions would return to normal and explaining why the measures would need to remain under review.
