ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani government has increased the price of petrol by Rs4 per liter for the next 15 days, it said late Thursday.
The new price of petrol is Rs279.75 per liter which will remain effective till March 15, the Finance Division said in a notification.
The government maintained the price of high-speed diesel at Rs287.33 per liter.
The revision was made “on the recommendation of Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA),” the notification read.
Pakistan revises petroleum prices every fortnight in accordance with global trends and the new petrol price has already taken effect.
This was the third consecutive hike in petroleum prices by the caretaker government and will likely be its last as an elected prime minister is set to take office this week.
