Inflation-hit Pakistanis can breathe a sigh of relief as petrol and diesel prices are expected to decrease by up to Rs7.50 per litre starting June 1, 2024, due to shifts in global oil prices. Recently, global oil prices have dropped by about $3.25 per barrel.
Consequently, petrol prices in Pakistan are anticipated to fall by Rs7.50 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs6.25 per litre, based on the final calculations of the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin.
