The government has decided to keep the prices of petroleum products unchanged for the next fortnight.
The announcement was made by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in a press conference.
The decision means that the price of petrol will remain at Rs. 224.80 per liter, high-speed diesel (HSD) at Rs. 235.30, light diesel oil (LDO) Rs. 186.50, and kerosene at Rs. 191.83.
It is pertinent to mention here that the government kept the prices unchanged at the last fortnightly review as well. The government had increased the petroleum development levy (PDL) on petrol by Rs. 14.84, denying the public relief in the price of petrol.
