The federal government has increased the prices of petroleum products, raising the price of petrol by Rs. 137.23 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs. 184.49 per litre.
The new price of petrol will be Rs. 458.4 and diesel will be sold at Rs. 520.35 per litre.
Previous petrol price = 458.40 − 137.23 = Rs. 321.17 per litre
Previous diesel price = 520.35 − 184.49 = Rs. 335.86 per litre
A week ago, the federal government kept both petrol and diesel rates unchanged despite the trade crisis caused by the Gulf War.
In the past 6 fuel price reviews, the federal government has increased fuel rates in 4 out of 6 sessions.
