The markets for the import and sale of petroleum products and liquefied gas in Tajikistan operated under competitive conditions in 2025 and showed no signs of monopolization, according to the Antimonopoly Agency under the Government of Tajikistan.

Speaking at a news conference in Dushanbe summarizing the agency’s performance, Head of the Antimonopoly Service Haidarali Rajabzoda said on February 6 that 1.212 million tons of petroleum products were imported into the country during the year, with a total value of $959.3 million. The average import price stood at $791 per ton.

He also reported that 349,900 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) were imported in 2025, worth $238.8 million. The average import price of LPG was $683 per ton, with the bulk of supplies coming from Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.

The Antimonopoly Agency noted that several major suppliers operate in the liquefied gas market, including Temur Oil, Allat, Gazpromneft Tajikistan, and other companies. According to the agency, the presence of a significant number of market participants prevents any single company from dominating the sector.

Data from the Agency for Statistics under the President of Tajikistan show that prices for fuels and lubricants in the country fell by 14.4% in 2025 compared with 2024. In particular, gasoline prices declined by 3.3%, diesel fuel by 5.1%, and liquefied gas by 31.9%.
