Overview
- High-speed diesel has been reduced to Rs265.65 per litre for the next fortnight starting December 16.
- Petrol remains at Rs263.45 per litre, with the notified rates effective through December 31.
- The Petroleum Division issued the pricing notification following computations conducted under federal instructions via Ogra.

- The diesel reduction is expected to ease costs for goods transport and agricultural operations, while unchanged petrol prices hold commuting expenses steady for consumers.
