The federal government announced on Friday a decline in the price of diesel by RS12.84 per liter for the next fortnight.

The new prices have been effective since August 16, according to an official notice issued by the Treasury.

“The government has decided to revise the prices of oil products for the fortnight that begins on August 16, 2025, according to OGRA’s recommendations and the ministries concerned,” the notification said.

The price of high speed diesel has been reduced by RS285.83 to Rs272.99 per liter of Rs12.84. Similarly, the government reduced the prices of upper olive oil from RS185.46 to 178.27 per liter.

Petrol is mainly used in private transport, small vehicles, rickshaws and two wheels.

The highest prices of fuel significantly affect the budgets of the members of the middle and lower middle waist members, who consume mainly gasoline for movement.

On the other hand, a significant part of the transport sector is based on high -speed diesel.

Its price is considered inflationary as it is mainly used in heavy goods transport vehicles, trucks, buses, trains and agricultural machinery, such as tractors, pipe wells and threshers.

High -speed diesel consumption contributes to the increased prices of vegetables and other foodstuffs.
