The Pakistan government is considering a series of measures, including a possible smart lockdown, to reduce petroleum consumption as fuel prices have risen sharply amid tensions in West Asia.
According to a notification issued by the Petroleum Division on Tuesday night, the government has increased the price of petrol by Rs 4.10 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs 6.41 per litre. This brings petrol to Rs 384.34 and high-speed diesel to Rs 415.83 per litre.
