Ulaanbaatar, October 22, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources of Mongolia Damdinnyam Gongor held a press briefing at the State Palace following the Cabinet session on October 22, 2025, stating that the supply of AI-92 petrol remains at the normal consumption level.
The Minister noted that on
regular days, Mongolia consumes between 950 and 1,200 tons of fuel. “Currently,
even though 1,800 tons are being supplied daily, queues have not yet subsided,”
he said. “It should be emphasized that over 90 percent of Mongolia’s fuel
supply comes from Russia. However, due to the current situation in that
country, there have been reports of domestic fuel shortages.”
According to Minister
Damdinnyam, the Government of Russia has imposed restrictions on AI-92 gasoline exports
until the end of the year. “Nevertheless, Mongolia has an intergovernmental
agreement with Russia to purchase fuel at a preferential rate. In October, we
will receive 58,000 tons of AI-92 petrol from Rosneft, and we are in talks to secure
further supplies from Gazprom and China,” he added.
The Minister also mentioned that the Angarsk Oil Refinery,
Mongolia’s main supplier, has completed its annual maintenance but has not yet
fully stabilized operations. “Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and I are
addressing this issue with Russian counterparts through the appropriate
channels.”
“Once again, the supply of AI-92 petrol is at the normal
consumption level. Therefore, I urge citizens not to panic and to purchase fuel
according to their regular needs,” Minister Damdinnyam emphasized.
