The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has dismissed reports of immediate changes to petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan, labeling notifications circulating on social media as fake and misleading.
- Status: Social media notifications regarding fuel price revisions are fake.
- Potential Diesel Drop: Rs90 to Rs100 per litre.
- Potential Petrol Drop: Rs50 to Rs60 per litre.
Clarification on Fuel Price Notifications
Authorities have urged the public to rely exclusively on official sources and verified announcements to avoid confusion. The ministry stated that no official notification has been released regarding any change in rates.
A formal decision regarding changes to fuel prices is expected to be made tomorrow, indicating that no final announcement has been issued so far.
Potential Reductions in Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
Following a decline in global oil prices, sources suggest that fuel rates in Pakistan could see a significant reduction. Diesel rates may drop by as much as Rs90 to Rs100 per litre, while petrol rates could decrease by Rs50 to Rs60 per litre.
The final decision on these rates will be announced only after receiving approval from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
This development follows recent record increases in petroleum prices, which led federal and provincial governments to announce relief packages for farmers, public transport, goods transport operators, rickshaw drivers, and motorcyclists.
