May 13, 2024 (MLN): The government is likely to cut the price of petrol by another Rs12.8 per litre for the second half of May 2024, in line with the decline in international prices.

Price estimates till May 13, 2024 (Monday), indicate international petroleum product prices have fallen significantly compared to the last fortnight.

The decline would be on top of the Rs5.45 cut from the last fortnight when the government lowered the price to Rs288.49 per litre.

Moreover, the government is expected to cut the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) by around Rs8.3 per litre due to a drop in its international price.

In the last fortnight, the government had slashed the High-Speed Diesel (HSD) price by Rs8.42 to Rs281.96 per litre.

The local currency has remained comparatively stable against the USD since last fortnight's decision, standing at a weighted average rate of around PKR 278.2 per USD.

It is important to note that there are still three sessions left for the next pricing update; thus, the final prices will depend on global market movements and the exchange rate.

The government will announce the new prices at midnight on May 15, 2024, and they will remain in effect for the second half of May.
