The Finance Division of the ministry announced that the price of high-speed diesel has remained at Rs287.33 per litre, unchanged from the previous month.
Price of petrol in Pakistan:
Objects | Old price | New price | Increase or Decrease |
---|---|---|---|
Petrol | Rs275.62 | Rs279.75 | +Rs4.13 |
High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs287.33 | Rs287.33 | Rs0(no change) |
It should be noted that oil prices are revised in Pakistan every 15 days every year to make sure that they are in line with the trend of global oil prices and the fluctuations of the rupee’s exchange rate against the dollar. Recent developments have seen the Pakistani rupee remain steady over the past few weeks.
Pakistani citizens who rely heavily on private vehicles for transportation are likely to face an increase in their cost of living as a result of these fuel price increases. Inflationary pressures will result in the economy from the rise in petrol prices, which will affect individual transportation costs as well as the prices of goods and services.
