Fuel costs decreased at Royal Petrol and Sinooil petrol stations
In Kazakhstan, two retail sellers of diesel fuel, TОO "Royal Petrol" and ТОO "Sinooil", have recently reduced their prices for diesel fuel following notifications issued by the Kazakhstan Agency for the Protection and Development of Competition. The reduction reaches up to 7 tenge per liter in some regions.
However, it's important to note that the price reduction at other gas stations may not be similar to that of TОO "Royal Petrol" and ТОO "Sinooil". The Agency has emphasized that diesel fuel prices have been reduced nationwide at other gas stations, but the extent of the price reduction is not specified in the article.
The notifications issued by the Kazakhstan Agency were not the sole reason for the reduction in diesel fuel prices at other gas stations. The reason for the nationwide reduction in diesel fuel prices remains unclear.
Interestingly, the Agency has not taken any action against other gas stations for potential anti-competitive collusive actions. As of mid-2025, there have been no public reports or official announcements regarding recent anti-competitive investigations specifically involving TOO "Royal Petrol" and TOO "Sinooil" in Kazakhstan's diesel fuel market.
It's worth noting that other gas stations across Kazakhstan have also reduced diesel fuel prices, although the timing of the price reduction occurred prior to the notifications issued by the Kazakhstan Agency for the Protection and Development of Competition.
For the most current status, it might be useful to check directly with Kazakhstan's Competition Authority or relevant regulatory bodies for updates, as such investigations are typically handled by these agencies.
The price reductions in Kazakhstan's diesel fuel market are not exclusively limited to TОO "Royal Petrol" and ТОO "Sinooil"; other industry players, including stations in the finance sector, have also lowered their diesel prices. The energy sector, however, remains unclear in its involvement in the recent nationwide price adjustments.
