The government has clarified that no official reduction in Petrol Price has been announced. The statement came after viral reports claimed a major cut in fuel rates across Pakistan.
According to the Petroleum Division, no notification has been issued regarding petroleum product prices. Authorities stressed that all circulating claims about a sharp Petrol Price drop are unverified.
Earlier, several reports suggested that petrol had been reduced to Rs78 per litre. Diesel prices were also claimed to have dropped significantly. However, officials have rejected these claims as false and misleading.
The government has urged media outlets and the public to avoid sharing unconfirmed information. Officials warned that spreading incorrect news about Petrol Price can create confusion among citizens.
Sources within the government confirmed that a summary on petroleum prices is being prepared. This summary will be sent to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for review. A final decision is expected later today.
Senior officials have hinted that a reduction in Petrol Price may be announced soon. They indicated that the government is working on providing relief to the public. However, they emphasized that no final decision has been made yet.
The possible price adjustment comes at a time when citizens are facing economic pressure. Fuel costs have a direct impact on transport, goods, and daily expenses. Any change in petrol rates can affect overall inflation.
Experts believe that if a reduction is approved, it could bring temporary relief. Lower fuel costs may help ease financial stress for households and businesses. However, they also caution that global oil prices play a major role in local rates.
Officials have assured that the final announcement will be made through official channels. They advised the public to rely only on verified updates from the government.
