Govt Increases Per Litre Petrol Price By Rs9.66
The latest reports say that the per litre price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has gone down by Rs3.32.
The Federal government has made revisions to fuel prices, hiking petrol prices by Rs9.66 per litre and lowering high-speed diesel (HSD) prices by Rs3.32 per litre.
Starting April 1, 2024, petrol is now priced at Rs289.41 per litre, up from Rs279.75, whereas HSD decreased to Rs282.24 from Rs278.92 per litre.
Furthermore, effective immediately, kerosene oil and light-diesel oil prices have been reduced by Rs2.27 and Rs0.38 per litre, respectively, now standing at Rs186.
Kerosene is primarily utilized for adulteration and lighting in remote areas, while light diesel oil finds usage in flour mills and a few power plants.
This decision follows Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s earlier announcement on March 15, which saw diesel prices rise by Rs1.77 per litre, while petrol prices remained unchanged.
These adjustments are made in response to international market fluctuations and align with the government’s strategy to reflect global price movements domestically.
