Huge Relief for Public: Petrol Price Cut by Rs 74, Diesel by Rs 67 per Litre<\/h1>\n

\n

ISLAMABAD:<\/b> In a major move to provide financial relief to the inflation-weary public, the federal government has announced a massive reduction in the prices of petroleum products, driven by declining oil prices in the global market.<\/p>\n

H2: New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan<\/h2>\n

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shared the development with the nation, detailing the significant price cuts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Petrol:<\/b> The price of petrol has been slashed by Rs 74 per litre<\/b>. The new price stands at Rs 299 per litre<\/b>, down from the previous Rs 373.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Diesel:<\/b> The price of high-speed diesel has been reduced by Rs 67 per litre<\/b>, bringing it down from Rs 378 to Rs 311 per litre<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    H2: National Austerity Measures Save Rs 129 Billion<\/h2>\n

    Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif lauded the resilience of the citizens during tough economic times and thanked them for supporting the government.<\/p>\n

    He highlighted that the federal government managed to save Rs 129 billion<\/b> through strategic cuts in the development budget and strict austerity measures. These savings were directly utilized to cushion the public against the soaring impacts of global oil inflation.<\/p>\n

    H2: Expected Economic Impact: Lower Inflation and Transport Costs<\/h2>\n
