According to a fortnightly review of petroleum prices, consumers can expect substantial relief from the current prices.

The estimated price reductions include a decrease of Rs2.49 per litre for petrol, from Rs257.13 to Rs254.64. High-speed diesel (HSD) is projected to see a larger drop of Rs10 per litre, decreasing from Rs267.95 to Rs257.95.

Kerosene oil and light diesel oil (LDO) are also expected to become cheaper, with potential price reductions of Rs3.45 per litre and Rs5.60 per litre, respectively.

These projected price changes are based on current international fuel prices, existing petroleum levies, a stable exchange rate, and other government taxes.
