Finally, the news that we were all waiting for is here – the updated petrol and diesel prices! The Ministry of Finance has decided to maintain the prices of petrol and high-speed diesel, providing a momentary relief for motorists and transporters. However, the same isn’t true for kerosene oil and light diesel users who are in for a pleasant surprise.

Unchanged Petrol Price

If you were hoping for a break in your fuel expenses, you might have to wait a bit longer. The ministry has decided to keep the prices of petrol and high-speed diesel unchanged. So, your next visit to the pump won’t leave a dent in your wallet, at least for now.

Petrol: Rs283.38 per liter

High-Speed Diesel: Rs303.18 per liter

Kerosene and Light Diesel Prices

Now, here’s the silver lining. If you rely on kerosene oil or light diesel, your budget might just breathe a sigh of relief. The ministry has decided to decrease the rates for these essential fuels.

Kerosene Oil: Expect a drop of Rs. 3.82 per liter, bringing the new rate to Rs. 211.03 per liter.

Light Diesel Oil: Get ready for a reduction of Rs. 3.40 per liter, making it Rs. 189.46 per liter.

Petrol is the lifeblood of motorbikes and cars, especially in regions like Punjab, where compressed natural gas (CNG) isn’t as readily available. With the price holding steady, commuters can enjoy a bit of financial stability.

On the other hand, diesel is the powerhouse for transport and agriculture. Any fluctuation in diesel prices can send ripples of inflation through these crucial sectors. Fortunately, the decision to maintain diesel rates provides a momentary relief for businesses and farmers.

Kerosene oil, often used in cooking in remote areas where LPG isn’t an option, sees a decrease. This brings relief to households, particularly in the northern parts of the country. 

As fuel prices play a pivotal role in the daily lives of Pakistanis, these adjustments bring a mix of emotions. While some sigh with relief, others eagerly await future reviews, hoping for continued stability or perhaps a welcomed dip in their fuel expenses.
