Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Shahbaz Gul said that on the recommendation of OGRA, the price of petrol is being increased by Rs 1.71 per liter.
He said that no increase was being made in diesel prices. The general public and farmers are more affected by the increase in diesel prices, so the summary of the increase in diesel prices has been rejected.
OGRA has sent recommendations to the Ministry of Petroleum regarding price revision.
