In a move to provide some relief to people during Ramazan from the persistently high inflation, the federal government on Friday reduced the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs1.77 per litre while maintaining the tariffs of petrol, according to a statement issued by the Finance Division.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the HSD would now be available at Rs285.56 per litre. The price of petrol has been kept at Rs279.75 per litre. The prices would be effective from midnight today.<\/p>\n
