Petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan are expected to drop starting October 1, 2024, as the government considers providing relief to consumers amid a notable decline in global oil rates.
Moreover, sources indicate that while discussions are ongoing, exact figures for the price reduction have not been finalised.
Additionally, Brent crude oil prices have fallen by $0.50, now at $72.27 per barrel, and US crude prices have also dipped by 37 cents. This decline raises hopes of reduced fuel costs for Pakistani consumers.
