The federal government has decided to give cheap petrol to low-income people using motorcycles, rickshaws, and cars of up to 800cc.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a meeting regarding the proposed relief package for petroleum users in Lahore on Sunday.
The prime minister directed to include cars of up to 800cc for the subsidized petrol scheme in addition to motorcycles and rickshaws. The government plans to subsidize the price of petrol by Rs. 50 per liter, which will substantially reduce the price for the subsidized segment.
The prime minister directed the relevant authorities to speed up the implementation of the proposed program and directed the stakeholders to devise a comprehensive strategy in this regard.
The premier said that motorcycles, rickshaws, and smaller cars are used by the common man and the subsidy will provide relief for the poor segment of society.
It is pertinent to mention here that the government is yet to announce details about how this subsidy will be implemented.
Stupid tareen government. All of my rich friends in DHA/ Bahria own Multiple cars and most of them have atleast one small Japanese 660cc car for shopping and daily use.
Also imagine that people will fill tank of a smaller car and they can easily transfer petrol to a bigger SUV. One tank of 30 Liter can earn them 1500 Rs.
Also Imagine if you will be able to get 10 liters of fuel from a bike and then transfer it to the car then you can easily save more than 500 Rs in a day. Many people will do that.
This scheme will be the disaster and wil eventually shutdown.
In my opinion subsidizing petrol is not a wise decision. Now a days imported and locally manufactured 660c cars costs much more than older 1000cc and even 1300 cars. The owners who can spend millions buying 660c cars can afford unsubsidized petrol also. A more wiser approach would be to subsidize fuel on owner’s income basis and this would require efforts and working to categorize consumers, for 70cc bikes and Rikshaws the facility is justified.
I think govt should import low quality cheap petrol for Motorcycles, Petrol which suits motorcycles. in this way govt would not bear the Subsidy Price burden & same time cheaper petrol helps Motorcycle & Rikshaws
As mentioned by pakwheels, low RON fuel should be introduced that will not only cost less and work perfectly for Motorcyscle engines. Whereas it wont be good for Cars, so the leakage (corruption) chances are reduced and this policy will benifit masses. Just like Low Speed Diesel, thier should be low speed Petrol…
Thank you so much Shahbaz Sharif. If you didnt come in power, we would still be buying petrol at 150. How could we thank you for selling us the fuel on double price and then reduce Rs 50?

شکریہ جناب وزیراعظم شہباز شریف آپ نے ہمیشہ عوام کی خدمت کی انشاءاللہ جلد پھر ہم پاکستان مسلم لیگ نواز کا دور دیکھیں گے کچھ کالی بھیڑوں کی وجہ سے ملک کی ترقی روک دی ہے نہیں تو یہ ہم بہت ترقی کر چکے ہوتے
Here is a viable option:
Subsidize motorcycle and rikshaw patrol by lowering RON to 88 or even 87 and make it cost Rs. 50 less.
Provide RON 92 and above at full cost to everyone.
Let the public choose the patrol quality and ease on pocket. It is a sustainable option.
Amazing Decision
