Petrol Price increase in Pakistan - Expected rates from April 16
The petrol price in Pakistan is expected to rise to approximately Rs300 starting from April 16 due to change in global prices and the federal government's proposal to hike taxes.
According to insider sources, the cost of petrol is
projected to increase by around Rs8 per liter. This means that for the upcoming
two weeks, the petrol price will surge to about Rs298 per liter, up from the
current rate of Rs289.40 per liter. Similarly, the diesel price is also likely
to go up by roughly Rs2 per liter, reaching approximately Rs284.24 per liter
compared to the current price of Rs282 per liter.
Unverified reports suggest that the Pakistani government is observing
an increase in the petroleum levy from Rs60 to Rs100 per liter. The existing
levy is already at the maximum cap of Rs60 per liter. If this proposal goes
through, it could lead to unprecedented petrol prices in Pakistan. The
government is set to announce the new rates on April 15 following the final calculation
of the exchange rate.
In conclusion, consumers in Pakistan should brace themselves
for a significant hike in petrol prices, with the expected changes coming into
effect from April 16. Stay informed and be prepared for the anticipated
increase in petrol price from mid-April.
