Why Petrol Prices Changed Today?
Fuel prices in Pakistan are reviewed every 15 days. As a result, today’s petrol price changed due to three main reasons.
First, international crude oil prices remain high, with Brent crude above $95 per barrel. Second, the Pakistani rupee weakened against the US dollar, which raised import costs. Finally, the government revised petroleum levy and GST rates to meet revenue targets.
Therefore, petrol and diesel prices increased slightly, while light diesel oil stayed unchanged.
Impact of Petrol Price on Consumers
The revised fuel rates directly affect daily life. For example, transport fares in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are expected to rise. In addition, higher petrol and diesel costs raise the prices of essential goods because transportation becomes more expensive.
However, experts suggest the impact could ease if global oil prices fall in the coming weeks. Overall, inflation continues to pressure both consumers and businesses.
Government’s Position
The Ministry of Finance explained that the latest revision reflects global oil market trends. Meanwhile, OGRA will release the next update on October.
The government also promised limited relief. For instance, subsidies may be offered to public transport and agriculture sectors to reduce the burden.
