March 26, 2026 (MLN): OGRA has received an initial tranche of Rs. 27 billion to settle outstanding Price Differential Claims arising from the government’s decision to shield consumers from rising international oil prices.

The amount has been disbursed from the Prime Minister’s Austerity Fund, according to a press release issued.

On the directions of the Prime Minister, the funds were arranged through a series of expenditure-cutting measures implemented across the federal government and deposited into the Austerity Fund.

The government is also considering additional cost-saving steps to sustain public relief while remaining within budgetary limits and identifying further savings.
