The government of Thailand will introduce targeted fuel subsidies for the transport sector starting April 1, as operators grapple with mounting costs and prepare to implement freight rate increases. The relief measures aim to ease logistics costs for consumer goods and prevent a pass-through effect on retail prices. The Transport Minister has finalized assistance for vulnerable segments of the transport industry and the traveling public, with subsidies based on actual usage verified through GPS tracking. These measures come as the Land Transport Federation of Thailand plans to raise freight charges nationwide in response to rising fuel costs, with diesel prices having increased significantly.
