Islamabad (HRNW):<\/b> In a significant fiscal move ahead of the upcoming annual budget, the Government of Pakistan has implemented a major restructuring of the petroleum levy rates. The development sets a record-high levy on petrol while significantly slashing the rate on high-speed diesel.<\/p>\n

Record Increase on Petrol Levy<\/b><\/h3>\n

According to official notifications, the petroleum levy on petrol has been increased by Rs. 24.74 per liter<\/b>. Following this sharp upward revision, the levy on petrol has reached an unprecedented record level of Rs. 116.08 per liter<\/b>. Financial experts fear that this steep hike will immediately translate into a fresh wave of inflation, placing a heavy financial burden on daily commuters, motorcycle owners, and private vehicle users.<\/p>\n

Relief Slashed for High-Speed Diesel<\/b><\/h3>\n

In stark contrast to the petrol price hike, the government has substantially reduced the petroleum levy on High-Speed Diesel (HSD) by Rs. 24.34 per liter<\/b>. With this reduction, the levy on high-speed diesel has plummeted down to Rs. 44.59 per liter<\/b>. Government sources state that this strategic reduction is aimed at providing operational relief to the public transport sector, agricultural machinery, and the commercial logistics\/goods transport industry.<\/p>\n

Economic Insights<\/b><\/h3>\n

Economic analysts note that this sudden and aggressive adjustment in the levy structure is a calculated move by the state to balance the overall national tax framework and boost non-tax revenue collection. However, experts warn that the escalating levy on petrol will directly squeeze the purchasing power of middle-class consumers and drive up the overall cost of living.<\/p>\n
