KARACHI: The Pakistani government has maintained the price of petrol and slashed the rate of high-speed diesel by Rs2 per liter, the Finance Division said on Friday.
Petrol is primarily used in Pakistan for private transportation, including small vehicles, rickshaws and two-wheelers. Diesel, on the other hand, powers heavy vehicles used for transporting goods across the country.
After the latest revision, a liter of diesel will cost Rs254.64, while that of petrol will continue to sell for Rs252.63, according to a notification issued by the Finance Division.
“The government has decided the following prices of petroleum products for the fortnight starting today, based on the recommendations of OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) and the relevant ministries,” it read.
Fuel prices in Pakistan are reviewed and adjusted on a fortnightly basis. This mechanism ensures that changes in import costs are reflected in consumer prices, helping to sustain the country’s fuel supply chain.
The new price of diesel has already taken effect.
