The petrol price in Pakistan has been revised, with the government setting petrol at Rs346 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) at Rs378 per litre. The new rates will affect motorists, commuters and businesses that rely on fuel for transport and daily operations. Because fuel costs feed into transport fares and the prices of goods, the change can reach ordinary household budgets as well.
What the revision does and does not say
Reports on the revision say the government has set the new rates, but they do not give the date from which the rates apply or the full size of the adjustment. A social media post that tracks fuel prices put the change at a fall of Rs6.59 for petrol and Rs4.25 for diesel. The same post said petrol was about Rs53 below its 9 October peak of Rs398.96. That post is not an official notice, and its figures have not been matched with one.
Coverage of the revision has also linked it to inflation and to the struggles faced by ordinary households. Diesel is the fuel used by many buses, goods vehicles and generators, so the Rs378 rate matters to transport operators as well as to private motorists.
Timeline: what has happened so far

Aasan alfaaz mein
Pakistan mein petrol ki qeemat ab Rs346 fi litre aur high-speed diesel ki Rs378 fi litre batayi gayi hai. Sarkar ne fuel ki qeemat revise ki hai, lekin yeh kab se lagu hogi aur kitni kami hui hai, yeh abhi wazeh nahi. Agar aap rozana gaari ya motorcycle chalatay hain to apne mahine ke petrol kharche par nazar rakhein. Mazeed tafseel aane par hi is tabdeeli ka asal asar pata chalega.
