In a recent move impacting fuel costs nationwide, the government has announced a marginal increase in the petrol price, raising it by Rs. 1.35 per litre. The new rates will take effect immediately, affecting consumers across the country amid ongoing concerns over rising living expenses.
This adjustment comes as part of periodic price reviews by the Ministry of Finance and the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), intended to align with global oil price fluctuations. However, the hike, though slight, has added to the pressures faced by households and businesses already grappling with inflation.
Transport associations and citizens have voiced concern, urging the government to consider relief measures to offset the impact of rising fuel costs.
