ISLAMABAD – The government has announced a major reduction in fuel prices, bringing significant relief to consumers across Pakistan. According to the latest notification, the petrol price has been reduced by Rs74 per litre, while the price of high-speed diesel has been cut by Rs67 per litre.
The decision comes amid changes in international oil markets and updated domestic pricing calculations. The reduction is expected to help ease financial pressure on households and businesses that have been struggling with rising living costs.
Following the latest revision, the petrol price now stands at Rs299 per litre. Meanwhile, diesel rates have been adjusted and are now ranging between Rs311 and Rs378 per litre, depending on the category and applicable pricing structure.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the latest decrease in fuel rates reflects the government’s commitment to providing relief to the public. He stated that the reduction fulfills a promise made to the people and demonstrates the government’s efforts to support citizens during challenging economic conditions.
The prime minister added that the government is passing on the benefits of lower global oil prices directly to consumers. He said the move is aimed at reducing inflationary pressure and improving the financial situation of ordinary citizens.
Officials believe the lower petrol price will have a positive impact on the economy. Reduced fuel costs can lower transportation expenses for both passengers and goods. This may help bring down the prices of various products that depend on transport and logistics services.
Economic experts also suggest that lower fuel prices could contribute to a slowdown in inflation. Transportation plays a key role in the supply chain, and reduced fuel costs often lead to lower operating expenses for businesses.
The latest reduction is one of the most significant fuel price cuts announced in recent months. Many consumers are expected to benefit from lower travel and transportation costs. The government hopes the measure will provide meaningful relief and support economic stability in the country.
