The federal government has increased the price of high-speed diesel by six rupees per litre, while petrol prices remain unchanged.
According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Finance late on Saturday, the price of High Speed Diesel (HSD) has risen from Rs278.44 per litre to Rs284.44 per litre, while the price of petrol will remain at Rs265.45 per litre.
The notification further stated that the revised prices take effect immediately from November 16 and will remain in force for the next 15 days.

Analysts said the increase could affect transportation and logistics costs, potentially pushing up prices of goods and services in the coming weeks. The revised prices also reflect higher taxes, with consumers paying Rs80.52 per litre in petroleum levy and carbon tax on petrol, and Rs79.51 on HSD.
HSD is widely used in the agriculture and transport sectors, therefore, revision in its price will have a significant impact on consumers.
Petrol is used in motorbikes and cars. It is also considered to be an alternate to the CNG in vehicles especially in Punjab where indigenous gas is not available for the CNG stations. Kerosene oil is primarily used in remote areas, particularly in the northern part of the country, where LPG is not available for cooking purposes.
