ISLAMABAD – Petroleum prices in Pakistan are set to increase starting September 16, as the oil industry has proposed a temporary hike for 15 days. The suggested adjustment covers petrol, high-speed diesel, kerosene, and light diesel.

Approval Process:
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) will submit the summary of proposed prices to the government on September 15.
