As oil prices fall on the global market and the value of the dollar falls, the government may announce a significant reduction in the pricing of petroleum goods.
According to sources, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has begun work on a revised summary that might recommend a reduction in POL prices of up to Rs15.
According to insider sources, the government may offer assistance to the general public due to a reduction in the petroleum levy and other taxes.

Following the prime minister’s assent, new rates will be revealed on August 15 after OGRA provides a summary to the finance ministry on August 13 to determine new prices.
