The outgoing caretaker government on Thursday increased the prices of petrol by over Rs4.13 per litre, effective from March 1, 2024. However, it maintained the price of high-speed diesel (HSD), light diesel oil (LDO) and kerosene oil.<\/p>\n

According to a notification issued by the finance ministry, the price of petrol was increased as per the recommendation of the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra).<\/p>\n

After the hike, the price of petrol reached Rs279.75 while HSD is available at Rs287.33.<\/p>\n

The Express Tribune <\/em>had reported that the price of petrol may go up due to expected exchange rate adjustment.<\/p>\n

The report said that the oil price revisions are based on a higher premium, exchange rate adjustment, and the current petroleum levy and general sales tax (GST) rate on petroleum products.<\/p>\n

The import premium on petrol is estimated at $10.48 per barrel, whereas the premium on high-speed diesel is estimated at $6.50 per barrel. The government is charging Rs60 per litre petroleum levy on both.<\/p>\n

The inland freight equalisation margin (IFEM) is Rs7.52 per litre on petrol and Rs3.92 per litre on high-speed diesel.<\/p>\n

The sale of total petroleum products in Pakistan clocked in at 1.38 million tonnes in January, a decline of 4% year-on-year compared to 1.44 million in the same period of the previous year. The decline comes on the back of lower petrol and diesel sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
