Petrol price goes up by Rs 4 for April
ISLAMABAD: The new price of petrol effective from midnight Tuesday, October 31, will be Rs 74.29 per litre.

The price of petrol has been increased by Rs 4 per litre for the month of April.

Similarly, the price of diesel has been increased by Rs 3 per litre.

All other POL prices will however remain same.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) on Monday forward a proposal to ratchet up the prices of petroleum products effective from April 1.

OGRA had suggested increasing the rate of petrol by Rs4.40 per litre, high speed diesel by Rs6.25, High Octane Blending Component (HOBC) Rs7.66, light diesel Rs2.56 and kerosene oil by Rs1.56 a litre.

In response to the similar proposal from OGRA last month, the government had decided not to increase the POL prices and kept them unchanged for the month of March.
