Kazakhstan has extended its restrictions on fuel exports, tightening control over the outflow of oil products from the country for an additional six months.

The Kazakh Ministry of Energy announced that the ban on exporting gasoline, diesel fuel, and certain oil products will remain in force until November 21, 2026, The Caspian Post reports via Interfax.

According to the official order, the restrictions apply to fuel exports by road transport, including shipments to member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. The new extension runs from May 21 to November 21, 2026.

Exceptions include lubricating oils and fuel contained in factory-sealed vehicle tanks.

Additional limits also apply to rail transport exports, although gasoline shipments may still be allowed under approved state supply plans and regulated production rules. Humanitarian exports may also be permitted on a case-by-case basis by government decision.

The policy continues earlier restrictions introduced in November 2025, aimed at stabilizing domestic fuel supply and preventing shortages.
