The Petrol Prices in Pakistan are expected to increase from 1 November 2021 due to continuous depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee against US Dollar (USD to PKR) and the hike in international oil prices.
According to The News, the Petrol Price in Pakistan is likely to increase by up to Rs. 7 per litre from November 1, while the price of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) is expected to increase by up to Rs. 9 per litre. However the final price will be determined by the price of imported oil during the next few days.
