The federal government has revised petroleum levy rates, reducing the levy on petrol while increasing it on high-speed diesel with immediate effect.

According to official documents issued by the Petroleum Division, the petroleum levy on petrol has been reduced by Rs9.24 per litre. As a result, the levy on petrol has decreased from Rs116.08 per litre to Rs106.84 per litre.

At the same time, the government has increased the levy on diesel by Rs8.67 per litre. The levy on high-speed diesel has risen from Rs44.59 per litre to Rs53.26 per litre.
