Petrol Price Reduced by Rs10, Diesel Prices Remain Unchanged

News Desk

ISLAMABAD: The government has reduced the price of petrol by Rs10 per litre, bringing it down to Rs250 per litre, while diesel prices will remain unchanged at Rs280 per litre.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, the revised petrol price takes effect immediately. The decision is aimed at providing relief to consumers amid persistent inflation and rising living costs.

The reduction is expected to offer some relief to motorists and commuters by lowering transportation expenses. However, unchanged diesel prices could continue to put pressure on the transport, logistics and agricultural sectors, which heavily depend on diesel-powered vehicles and machinery.

The government is expected to review petroleum prices again next month in light of fluctuations in international oil markets.

The latest adjustment is likely to have implications for transportation costs, inflation and household spending in the coming weeks.
