Islamabad: The interim government on Friday increased the price of petrol by Rs 14.9 per litre, according to a notification issued by the Finance Ministry.

According to details, the price of petrol have reached to Rs305.36 per litre with increase of Rs 14.9 per litre.

Meanwhile, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has been increased by Rs18.44 per litre to Rs311.84.

Notably, several fuel stations across the country were shut down a couple of hours before anticipated hike.

The surge in fuel prices has compounded the misery of people already struggling with runaway inflation.

It would mean higher transportation costs, increased inflation, reduced economic activity and impact on the poor and vulnerable.
