Informed sources indicate that the proposed mechanism would substantially reduce the government’s role in setting petroleum prices, giving OGRA the sole authority to determine the rates of major petroleum products on a daily basis. A senior Petroleum Division official stated that the regulator would be responsible for fixing the prices of motor spirit (petrol), high-speed diesel (HSD), light diesel oil (LDO), and kerosene oil.
