This is certainly an encouraging development, as increased production will prevent energy shortages. It will also lower oil prices in Pakistan. It is important to note that the government announced earlier to reduce the prices of gasoline and high speed diesel by Rs 5 per liter. The decision came to bring relief to the people.

Government lowers oil prices

According to a document released by the Finance Division, the government has decided to revise existing prices “due to the downward trend in the prices of petroleum products on the world market.[s] and [to] transform the impact on the masses ”.

The new gasoline price is Rs 140.82 per liter, while high speed diesel will sell for Rs 137.62, compared to Rs 145.82 and Rs 142.62 respectively.

Meanwhile, the prices of kerosene and light diesel fuel (LDO) fell by Rs 7 and Rs 7.01 per liter, respectively. The new price for kerosene is Rs 109.53 per liter and that of LDO is Rs 107.06 per liter.
