In a summary forwarded to the federal government, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has recommended to cut petrol price by Rs. 5.26 per liter.
We can expect the prices to drop soon if the recommendation gets approved by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. If the price gets decreased by Rs. 5, petrol price per liter will become Rs. 82.
Industry experts say that the federal government might not implement a full Rs. 5 decrease in petrol prices. However, they might decrease it up to Rs. 3.
On the other hand, OGRA has also proposed a slight increase in Kerosene and Diesel prices:
The summary was sent today to the Prime Minister. If the price hike gets implemented,
High speed diesel is mainly used in commercial vehicles, pumps, and locomotive vehicles. Comparatively, light diesel is utilized for industrial purposes. Remote areas in Pakistan use Kerosene for domestic purposes such as cooking, heating, etc.
