[ad_1] The federal government has decided to increase the price of petrol by Rs10 per litre for the next 15 days, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar announced Saturday.

[ad_1] In a welcome development for the citizens of Pakistan, it is expected that fuel prices will witness a considerable decrease in the coming month. Sources privy to the development said that the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has prepared a preliminary draft for reducing the prices of petroleum products, with the final decision expected to be sent to the Petroleum Division on October 31. This much-anticipated reduction comes in the backdrop of declining global crude oil prices, offering relief to Pakistani consumers. The primary catalyst for this anticipated drop in fuel prices is the decreasing cost of crude oil in the global market. Recent reports suggest that tensions in the Middle East, which had been contributing to a surge in oil prices, have significantly subsided. British crude oil prices have fallen below $90 per barrel, while American crude oil prices have dipped below $84 per barrel. These significant declines are attributed to diminished concerns re

[ad_1] The federal government on Wednesday reduced the prices of petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs2.04 and Rs6.47 per litre, respectively, for the next fortnight. According to a notification from the Ministry of Finance, available with Dawn.com, the new prices of petrol and HSD are Rs281.34 and Rs296.71. Meanwhile, the prices of kerosene oil and light-diesel oil were reduced by Rs6.05 and Rs9.01 per litre, respectively, to Rs204.98 and Rs180.45. Informed officials had earlier predicted that the prices of petrol and HSD would decline by Rs8 to Rs10 per litre each, mainly due to lower prices in the international market. The officials had said that the international prices of both HSD and petrol had fallen over the past two weeks. However, the rupee had depreciated against the dollar during the same period, reducing the benefit of lower international prices for consumers. For price calculations, officials said that HSD had become about $9 per barrel cheaper on average,

[ad_1] The price of petrol could be reduced by up to Rs19 per litre at the end of September when the government announces petroleum prices for the next fortnight. The reduction has been estimated on the basis of rupee appreciation and the relative stability that the world oil prices enjoyed in the past week. The Pakistani rupee has appreciated over 6% against the US dollar in the past 16 trading sessions with the greenback declining from Rs307 to Rs288. When the government last notified oil prices on September 16, benchmark Brent crude oil was trading at above $95 per barrel. It dropped to $93.69 since then and now remains stable below $94.50. Ogra’s computations show that the regulatory authority used an average exchange rate of Rs302.32 per US dollar when it calculated oil prices on September 15. The average exchange rate has now dropped to Rs291. Sources in Ogra say that the petrol price could be slashed by Rs10 on the account of rupee appreciation alone. If the authori
