ISLAMABAD: The recent tense regional situation in the country and the impact of rising prices in the global market have led to a record increase in the prices of petroleum products.
During the month, the price of kerosene has increased by Rs 252.87 per liter, the price of petrol by Rs 63 per liter, and the price of high-speed diesel by Rs 60.16 per liter.

The government also increased the levy on petrol by about Rs. 21 per liter in March.
