The petrol price is stable, but the levy on petrol has increased, which is the real reason behind the price hike. This has created a public reaction, with the public demanding more reduction from the government. Hafiz Naeem urges the government to abolish the petroleum levy.

The ex-depot price of petrol has been reduced by Rs. 4 per litre to Rs. 377.78, while the price of high-speed diesel remains unchanged at Rs. 380.78 per litre. This marks the fourth consecutive reduction in petrol prices.

However, the benefit to consumers has been largely offset by a simultaneous increase in the petroleum levy on petrol, which was raised by Rs. 24.74 to Rs. 116.08 per litre. In contrast, the levy on high-speed diesel was reduced by Rs. 24.34 per litre. The adjustments are part of a fiscal strategy to balance government revenue with fluctuations in global oil markets.
