December 31, 2020: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday, approved the minimum possible increase in petroleum prices against the recommendations forwarded by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).

The oil and gas regulator had conveyed a summary to the Petroleum Division for revision in petrol prices for the first half of January 2021 and recommended a hike of Rs 10.68 and Rs 8.37 per liter for Petrol and Diesel respectively.
