Islamabad: The National Assembly Wednesday approved amendments in the budget for the fiscal year 2022-23 to impose a Rs 50 levy on petroleum products.

However, the government hinted about increasing PDL to Rs50 per litre gradually.

The Minister also informed the members of the house that at present there is zero petroleum levy on the petroleum products.
