As Pakistan continues to face severe financial stress, the government has approved a steep increase in the levy on high-octane fuel. The price will now rise by PKR 200 per litre, taking it from PKR 100 to PKR 300, news agency ANI reported citing ARY News.
According to the source, this Rs 200-per-litre hike is specifically aimed at affluent users and is expected to generate around Rs 9 billion in monthly revenue, further stressing that ordinary petrol prices for the general public will remain unaffected.
