The government has shared good news for people by lowering petrol prices across the country. The price of petrol has been reduced by Rs. 7.54 for each litre. Now, people will pay Rs. 264.61 per litre at fuel stations.
This comes as a big relief at a time when many families are struggling with high prices of daily essentials due to rising inflation.
This price cut is part of the government’s regular fuel price check, which is done every two weeks. The main reason for this drop is the recent changes in global oil prices. When oil prices fall in the international market, the government often adjusts local fuel rates to match those changes.
People are hopeful that this reduction will help make daily life a bit easier. Lower petrol prices usually mean that the cost of transportation goes down too. When buses, trucks, and delivery vehicles spend less on fuel, it can help reduce the prices of goods that people buy every day.
Many families spend a big part of their monthly budget on fuel, whether it’s for motorbikes, cars, or public transport. So, cheaper petrol will help them save some money, which they can use for other important needs.
Experts say that if global oil prices stay low, the government might announce more cuts in the future. For now, this move has given some hope to people who have been worried about the rising cost of living. Many are welcoming this step as a much-needed relief.
