“In the last fortnight, Platts Singapore prices registered an increase. This along with a depreciation of the Pak Rupee has resulted in an increase of POL (petroleum, oil and lubricant) products in Pakistan,” said the press release from the Finance Division.
“The price of high-speed diesel was also increased by Rs13 per litre to Rs293 per litre and kerosene by Rs2.56 per litre to Rs190.29 per litre “by reducing government dues on it,” it added.
