Pakistan Cuts Diesel Price by Rs14 for 15 Days as Petrol Stays Unchanged

The decision aims to ease diesel-linked transport costs under the fortnightly review cycle.

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.
  • Ogra recently rejected advance media claims of price cuts as speculative and reiterated that official prices are set only within the notified window.
  • The diesel reduction is expected to ease costs for goods transport and agricultural operations, while unchanged petrol prices hold commuting expenses steady for consumers.
