The federal government has reduced petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) prices, but the relief is barely enough to make a difference for motorists.
According to the latest fuel price update issued by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), petrol has become Rs. 0.50 per litre cheaper, bringing its price down to Rs. 342.60 per litre.
The cut in diesel prices is even smaller. HSD has dropped by just Rs. 0.19 per litre to Rs. 371.61.
The new rates come after both fuels became more expensive on Tuesday. Petrol had risen by Rs. 1.12 to Rs. 343.10 per litre, while diesel increased by Rs. 1.11 to Rs. 371.80 per litre.
Despite the latest reductions, fuel prices remain significantly higher than they were when the daily pricing mechanism began.
Since daily fuel price revisions started, petrol has increased by Rs. 31.30 per litre, while diesel has surged by Rs. 42.10 per litre.
