Here is a copy of the notification:
Earlier, it was reported that Petrol Prices in Pakistan will be reduced in response to the massive decline in the rate of crude oil in the international market at just above $75 per barrel, which is the lowest they have been since the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
It is pertinent to mention that Shehbaz Sharif-led Government has kept the Petrol Prices in Pakistan unchanged since the last two fortnight reviews despite fall in international crude rates.
