The government decided Tuesday to keep the prices of petroleum products unchanged for the next fortnight till November 30.

“The government has decided, after permission from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, that there will be no increase in any petroleum products,” Minister for Finance and Revenue Ishaq Dar announced in a televised message.

It was expected that the government may likely adjust the prices of petroleum products in the petroleum levy which the government committed with the IMF to increase each month.

The price of petrol remained unchanged at Rs224.80 per litre, high-speed diesel at Rs235.30 per litre, and light diesel oil is Rs191.83.
