Pakistan has revised petroleum prices for the fortnight.
The Finance Ministry said high speed diesel is reduced by Rs12.84 per litre to Rs272.99, while petrol remains unchanged at Rs264.61 per litre.
Petroleum prices update: kerosene and light diesel also reduced
Kerosene is down Rs7.19 to Rs178.27 per litre. Light diesel oil falls Rs8.20 to Rs162.37 per litre.
The new rates take effect immediately nationwide.
The ministry said the adjustment reflects recent cost movements. Petrol is held steady to keep pump bills stable for motorists.
Diesel powers freight and farm machinery. A cut here can ease transport costs and crop operations.
Kerosene relief supports low income households that rely on it for cooking and heating in some areas.
Fuel stations are expected to update displays and billing without delay. Consumers should check receipts against the notified rates.
Market watchers will look for pass through to fares and haulage charges. Any reduction can help cool price pressures if businesses reflect lower diesel costs.
Future petroleum prices will depend on global oil trends, product premiums, exchange rates, and tax decisions.
The government typically reviews rates every two weeks.
