ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The federal government has announced revised prices for petroleum products, introducing an increase in the rate of high-speed diesel while keeping petrol prices unchanged.
According to the official notification, the price of high-speed diesel has been raised by Rs11.30 per litre. Following the increase, the new price of high-speed diesel has been fixed at Rs268.38 per litre.
