Before this decrease, the prices have continuously been going up in the past few months. Last month’s hike in petrol prices put the per liter value of petrol at its highest in the last three years.

The last twelve months saw a major bump in petrol prices. Per liter price of petrol went up from Rs 71 to Rs 88 in just one year.

Diesel and kerosene oil also witnessed major price hikes over last one year. Diesel’s price touched Rs 98 as compared to Rs 81 in 2017 while kerosene oil increased from Rs 44 per liter to stand at Rs 76.

The latest reduction in prices is due to the decrease of crude oil prices in the international market.

Updated prices will remain effective for the month of April. OGRA will review the prices at the end of the month and update them accordingly for the next month.
