Government might increase petrol prices

Price of Petrol is expected to increase by Rps. 8.98

Islamabad, 14 January 2023 (GNP): According to Pakistan Petroleum Division, the price of petrol is expected to increase by Rupees 8.98 per liter while the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) may rise by Rupees 1.06 per liter in the coming days.
