Mexico fuel price caps hold, subsidies rise

Entities: Secretaría de Energía (SENER) · Ciudad Juárez · Juan Guerra Pérez · Mexican government · Pemex

Overview

By late July 2026 about 84 % of diesel stations were complying with the voluntary cap of 27 MXN per litre (25.39 MXN in border zones). On 25 July the government released an interactive map that flagged roughly 1,538 non‑compliant stations, highlighting hotspots such as Chihuahua, where 60 stations were identified, including 23 in Ciudad Juárez selling up to 25.99 MXN per litre. The map, updated daily by the Secretaría de Energía and Pemex, is intended to encourage further adherence.

The voluntary gasoline cap of 24 MXN per litre remains in force through August to temper price spikes during the vacation travel period. These actions build on earlier developments: mid‑July compliance at about 83 % of stations, Profeco’s confirmation that the basic Pacic basket stayed below the 910‑peso ceiling, and the Treasury’s record subsidies for the week of 25‑31 July covering 71.58 % of diesel IEPS and 38.18 % of gasoline IEPS. Together, the mapping initiative and ongoing subsidy package aim to sustain consumer‑level price stability despite rising global oil costs.
