The federal government has reduced fuel prices for the next fifteen days. High-speed diesel and kerosene oil are now cheaper, while petrol prices remain unchanged. The Petroleum Division issued the official notification, and the new fuel rates took effect from midnight across Pakistan.
The government announced fresh fuel prices late Monday night. The decision brings relief for transporters and households. It also keeps petrol prices steady to avoid sudden shocks for daily commuters.
According to the Petroleum Division, the price of high-speed diesel has dropped by Rs 14 per liter. The new rate now stands at Rs 265.65 per liter. The cut applies nationwide and will remain in place for the next fifteen days.
Kerosene oil has also become cheaper. The government reduced its price by Rs 12.32 per liter. After the cut, the new kerosene price is Rs 180.54 per liter. The move directly affects households that rely on kerosene for heating and lighting.
Petrol prices remain unchanged. The government decided to keep petrol at Rs 263.45 per liter. Officials say the step aims to maintain stability for private vehicle owners and urban commuters.
The Petroleum Division released the notification after reviewing global oil trends and local market conditions. Authorities say they will continue to monitor international prices before the next revision. The new fuel prices took effect from midnight.
These fuel changes impact transport costs, inflation, and daily expenses. The government revises petroleum prices every fifteen days under the current pricing mechanism.
Consumers now wait for the next review, hoping for further relief if global oil prices soften. For now, diesel users and kerosene consumers get short-term relief, while petrol users see no change.
