Sources said that the price hike comes in response to the rising prices of petroleum products in the international market. Additionally, the petrol prices had gone up at the start of the month.

The OGRA had proposed a hike of Rs. 6.50 in the price of petrol but PM Imran had approved an increment of two rupees.

When asked about the price hike, the Special Assistant to the PM on Political Communication, Shehbaz Gill, said that the price hike was in accordance with the international market trends.
