Petrol price hiked by Rs4.53 per litre for next fortnight

-

The federal government has increased the price of petrol for next fortnight by Rs4.53 per litre in line with the hike in the global oil rates.

According to a notificati­on issued by the Finance Division late Monday, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has also been increased by Rs8.14 per litre to Rs290.38 per litre. The new fuel prices will be effective from April 16.

In addition to this, the government jacked up the prices of kerosene oil by Rs6.69 to Rs193.8 per litre. Similarly, the rate of light diesel has been increased by Rs6.54 to Rs174.34 per litre.

“The prices of Petroleum products have seen an increasing trend in the internatio­nal market during the last fortnight. The Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has worked out the consumer prices, based on the price variations in the internatio­nal market,” read the notificati­on.

In the last fortnightl­y review, the federal government increased the price of petrol by Rs9.66 but it slashed the price of HSD by Rs3.32 per litre.

The government reviews fuel prices every 15 days and adjusts them based on the movements of global oil prices and the exchange rate of the local currency.

Pakistan, which imports about 85% of its oil needs, has been grappling with a balance of payments crisis and soaring inflation. The higher fuel prices will have a knockon effect on the cost of living and transporta­tion in the country, where the sale of petroleum products declined by 19% year-on-year in February.-APP
