Decrease In Petrol Price In Pakistan: The Federal Government Of Pakistan

The federal government of Pakistan has announced a decrease in petroleum prices, effective from September 1, as reported by ARY News

Petrol will now cost 259.10 Pakistani Rupees (PKR) per litre, down by PKR 1.86, while High-Speed Diesel (HSD) will be priced at PKR 262.75 per litre, with a decrease of PKR 3.32.

Following the recent change, the kerosene oil will now be priced at PKR 169.62 per litre after a decrease of PKR 2.15, while light diesel oil will drop by 2.97 per litre, with the new price set at PKR 154.05, according to ARY News.

Notably, Pakistan was considering a reduction in petrol prices, the third consecutive decrease in petroleum product rates since July 31.

According to the sources, the earlier proposal was to decrease the price of petrol by PKR 2.97 per litre, high-speed diesel by PKR 2.31 per litre, kerosene oil by PKR 1.39 per litre, and light-speed diesel by PKR 1.96 per litre. Sources further said that the drop in international oil prices has resulted in the proposed reduction, with American crude oil falling by 3.60 per cent to USD 74.69 per barrel over the past two weeks and London Brent oil decreasing by 2.34% to USD 74.69 per barrel, ARY News reported.

Earlier, the federal government headed by Nawaz Sharif in August had announced a reduction in petrol prices by PKR 8.47 per litre, reported Geo News.

Alongside this, the Pakistan government had also lowered the price of high-speed diesel by PKR 6.70, reducing it from Rs 272.77 to Rs 266.07 per litre.
