What it means for people in Pakistan
For motorists, petrol costs stay where they were, but the diesel increase feeds into transport and freight costs, which can affect the prices of goods moved by road. With diesel now above Rs400 a litre, households and businesses that depend on diesel transport will feel the change quickly, and drivers should expect prices to be reviewed again under the daily mechanism.
