Islamabad: The government has reduced the price of petrol by Rs 3.93 per litre from October 17 to 19, while it has decided to maintain the price of diesel.
According to the notification issued, the new price of petrol has been fixed at Rs 386.30 per litre. High-speed diesel will remain at Rs 396.96 per litre.
The new prices will be applicable from 12 midnight on October 16 and will remain in force until October 19.
The reduction in petrol price may provide minor relief to consumers using motorcycles and small vehicles. However, due to the maintenance of diesel prices, an immediate reduction in the costs of freight and other diesel-powered vehicles is not expected.
