The price of kerosene oil has also been lowered by Rs3.26 per litre, from Rs184.97 to Rs181.71, while light diesel oil (LDO) has been reduced by Rs2.74 per litre, from Rs165.50 to Rs162.76 per litre.
The new prices will come into effect immediately until October 31, after which the next review of petroleum prices will be announced on November 1, the notification stated.
Officials said the reduction follows recent downward trends in international oil prices and is aimed at providing relief to consumers facing inflationary pressures.
This marks one of the largest price cuts in recent months as Pakistan continues its fortnightly fuel price review under the government’s revised mechanism.
