KARACHI – Petrol Price in Pakistan continues to climb higher, with per litre fuel cost around Rs415 per litre after the latest revision. The increase is not just driven by global oil trends but also by a rising tax burden, as more than one-third of the price is now being collected in the form of taxes and petroleum levies.
New Petrol Price
| Item | Old Rate | Increase | New Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs 399.86 | Rs 14.92 | Rs 414.78 |
| Diesel | Rs 399.58 | Rs 15.00 | Rs 414.58 |
The government imposed fresh hike in petroleum levies instead of offering relief to consumers. According to official sources, the government jacked up petroleum levy on petrol by Rs 13.91 per litre, taking the total levy to Rs 117.41 per litre. The same increase of Rs 13.91 per litre has also been applied to high-speed diesel, raising its levy to Rs 42.60 per litre.
