The federal government on Monday reduced the price of petrol by Rs2.93 per litre while raising the rate of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Re0.61 per litre in line with fluctuations in global oil markets.
Following the adjustment, petrol will cost Rs395.37 per litre, whereas high-speed diesel will be sold at Rs396.85 per litre.
A notification issued by the Petroleum Division stated that the revised prices would remain in effect until October 13.
Ogra has also begun publishing daily petroleum prices on its website to improve transparency and allow changes in international oil prices to be passed on to consumers more quickly.
Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik said the daily prices are based on a seven-day average of international market prices, in line with international practice.
Amid volatility in global oil rates on the back of renewed hostilities in the Middle East, the government decided to switch to a daily fuel price review mechanism.
The government had introduced a weekly fuel price review system after the conflict in the Middle East began on February 28, when Israel and the United States attacked Iran, leading Tehran to shut the Strait of Hormuz — the main route before the war for around a fifth of global energy supplies.
Tensions have mounted since a fragile June truce between Tehran and Washington collapsed, reviving fears of full-scale war and disrupting energy flows through the Strait.
Previously, the petroleum rates were revised fortnightly.
