Massive Increase in Petrol price in Pakistan Expected from Tomorrow
Following last month’s increase, the
federal government is expected to announce another notable rise in petrol
prices as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continues to push for more
taxes. This increase will raise the price of petrol to Rs298 per litre from its
current price of Rs289.41, which already included a Rs9.66 hike on March 31.
Diesel prices may
also fluctuate, with the price possibly reaching around Rs282.24, marking a
decrease of Rs3.32. However, even a slight rise in diesel prices could still
have an impact on inflation since diesel powers commercial vehicles that
transport food and agricultural equipment.
Fuel prices in Pakistan are adjusted
every two weeks, taking into account international prices and changes in the
exchange rate of the local currency. The expected increase in petrol prices
will likely add more pressure on the already struggling population, affecting
their daily expenses and overall cost of living.
