What could be the latest petrol price in Pakistan from April 16? The prices of petroleum products are likely to go up from tomorrow (April 16) in wake of rising oil prices in the international market.
The already distressed people will face a major blow as the prices of petroleum products are expected to increase by Rs10-14 per litre for the next fortnight.
In the last fortnight review, the petrol prices remain unchanged but the soaring prices in the international market and further depreciation of local currency would affect the prices of the basic commodity.

Meanwhile, the price of high-speed diesel is expected to remain unchanged.
