Fuel Imports to Uzbekistan Surge: Gasoline and Diesel Hit Records

Supplies of petroleum products to the country have increased rapidly, while light distillates and fuel oil have almost disappeared from the market

In January–February 2026, Uzbekistan increased imports of oil and fuel and energy products to $304.7 million, which is almost $95.4 million more compared to the same period last year. Such data is provided by the Customs Committee of the country.

The main growth came from gasoline - its supplies increased from 135.9 thousand tons for $78.5 million to 279.2 thousand tons for $165.9 million. Diesel fuel also showed steady growth: from 66.4 million kg for $53.9 million to 89.6 million kg for $71.5 million. Oils for engines and transmissions, other liquid fuels and kerosene also increased in volume and value.

At the same time, imports of light distillates decreased from 47.2 million kg for $31 million to 15.7 million kg for $8 million, and fuel oil was imported almost eight times less - from 39.5 million kg for $14 million to 5.5 million kg for $1.5 million. Deliveries of other petroleum products were not carried out either in 2025 or in 2026.
