New prices of petroleum products released

The government has once again increased the prices of petroleum products. The price of petrol has been increased by 39 paise, while the rate of high-speed diesel has been increased by Rs 2.40 per litre.

According to a statement issued by the Petroleum Division, the new prices will be applicable from August 25. After the increase, the price of petrol per liter has been fixed at Rs 341.98.

The price of high-speed diesel has also been increased. The new price has been fixed at Rs 370.69 per litre. Thus, the price of diesel has gone beyond the level of Rs 370 per litre.

After the recent decision, the price of petrol has increased from Rs 341.59 to Rs 341.98. The price of high-speed diesel has increased from Rs 368.29 to Rs 370.69. The PSO records also show that the rates effective from August 22 are Rs 341.59 per liter of petrol and Rs 368.29 per liter of diesel.

This shows that the increase in petrol prices is relatively limited. In comparison, the increase in diesel prices of Rs 2.40 will be more noticeable for consumers.

In recent weeks, petroleum prices have changed several times in the country. Under the prices effective on August 22, petrol was fixed at Rs 341.59 and diesel at Rs 368.29 per liter. The same rates are also listed on the latest price board of Shell Pakistan.

The change in petrol and diesel prices is directly related to the monthly budget of consumers. Changes in petrol prices affect the expenses of motorcyclists and car users. The increase in diesel prices can also affect the cost of transport and freight.

The prices of petroleum products in Pakistan change based on various factors, including global oil prices. OGRA plays a key role in the pricing process, while the federal government announces the final prices.

After the latest increase, consumers will have to buy petrol at Rs 341.98 per liter and high-speed diesel at Rs 370.69 per liter from August 25.
