ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Apr, 2024) The fortnightly increase in prices of various petroleum products was caused by upward fluctuation in the international oil market, said Spokesperson of the Finance Ministry on Tuesday.
During the last fortnight, the prices of petrol and high-speed diesel in the international market increased by US$ 3.82 and US$4.30 per barrel, the spokesperson said in a statement.
Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) had proposed to increase the price of petrol by Rs 4.53 and the price of high-speed diesel by Rs 8.14, the statement said adding the prices of petroleum products depended on the price fluctuations in the global market and the exchange rate.
