The caretaker federal government has recently announced a significant change in fuel prices, with a notable reduction in the cost of petrol. Effective today, the petrol price will be decreased by Rs8 per litre.

This adjustment brings down the petrol price from Rs267.34 to Rs259.34 per litre, marking a substantial decrease.

In contrast to the reduction in petrol prices, high-speed diesel (HSD) will remain stable at Rs276.21 per litre. This decision has been influenced by an adjustment in the exchange rate of Rs1.50 and a premium of $5.30 per barrel.

In a statement, the finance ministry highlighted that these revisions in oil prices align with the recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra). The decision was based on various factors, including the petroleum levy (PL), general sales tax (GST), premium, exchange rate, and global oil prices.

The announcement did not mention changes in kerosene oil (SKO) or light diesel oil (LDO) prices, which were expected to decrease Rs3 and Rs1.50 per litre, respectively.

Implications for Consumption and Inflation

The reduction in petrol prices is expected to increase its consumption, especially in light of the ongoing gas crisis in the country. Petrol, often used as an alternative to compressed natural gas (CNG) in vehicles, might see a surge in usage due to the current situation.

However, the unchanged price of diesel, which plays a crucial role in the transport and agriculture sectors, might contribute to inflation.
