For the next two weeks, the price of petrol will reach Rs 298 per liter from the current Rs 289.40 per litre. Diesel prices are also expected to rise by around Rs 2 per liter to Rs 284.24 per liter from Rs 282 previously.

Unofficial reports further claim that the Pakistani government is considering increasing the petroleum levy from Rs 60 to Rs 100 per litre, with the current levy already at a maximum of Rs 60 per litre.
This could lead to a record hike in petrol prices in Pakistan, and the government will announce new prices based on the final exchange rate on April 15.
