Furthermore, the government reduced the prices of kerosene and light-speed diesel by Rs 3.82 and Rs3.40 per litre. Kerosene and light-speed diesel will now be priced at Rs211.03 and Rs189.46 per litre, respectively.
In the previous review on October 15, the caretaker government had announced a reduction of Rs 40 and Rs15 in petrol and diesel prices, bringing them to Rs283.38 and Rs303.18 per litre, respectively.
This adjustment was made in response to the continuous appreciation of the local currency against the greenback and fluctuations in international petroleum product prices.
