The Russian government said on Saturday it was lifting the ban on gasoline exports for oil producers to avoid overstocking while extending the ban on exports for non-producers until the end of July 2026.
“The decision is aimed at maintaining stability in the domestic fuel market,” the government said.
The Russian energy ministry had submitted a proposal to the government requesting that the gasoline export ban for fuel producers be lifted ahead of schedule, Interfax news agency reported on Monday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
Russia also extended the ban on diesel and other types of fuel for non-producers until the end of July 2026.
