The government has announced a reduction in petrol prices, lowering the rate by Rs. 1 per liter. With this change, the new price of petrol is now Rs. 254.63 per liter. This decision was made in response to global oil price trends.
The Finance Ministry stated that the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) carefully reviewed international oil prices before finalizing the new rates. However, the price of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) remains unchanged at Rs. 258.64 per liter.
This slight decrease in petrol prices is effective immediately and is expected to offer some relief to consumers, especially with Eid-ul-Fitr approaching. Fuel prices directly affect transportation and daily expenses, so even a small reduction can ease financial pressure on citizens.
Petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan are regularly adjusted based on international market trends. The government reviews these prices every two weeks, considering global oil rates, exchange rates, and local economic conditions. While this reduction is minimal, it reflects efforts to stabilize fuel costs and provide relief where possible.
In recent months, fuel prices have fluctuated due to changes in international crude oil prices. Many people hope for further price reductions to help lower transportation costs and overall inflation.
For now, consumers can benefit from this slight decrease in petrol prices, while diesel users will continue paying the same rate. The government will keep monitoring global oil prices and make further adjustments if needed.
