Hukumat ka kehna hai ke yeh qeematein OGRA ki recommendations aur international oil market trends ko mad-e-nazr rakh kar tay ki gayi hain.
Relief for Transport and Agriculture Sector
Diesel Pakistan mein transport, agriculture aur freight services ka bunyadi fuel hai. Is liye diesel ki qeemat mein kami se:
- Transport cost mein kuch kami aa sakti hai
- Sabzi, anaaj aur rozmarrah ashya ki supply par pressure kam ho sakta hai
- Kisan aur truck drivers ko thori rahat mil sakti hai
Experts ke mutabiq asal faida tab hoga jab yeh kami consumer tak transfer ki jaye.
Why Petrol Prices Stayed the Same?
Petrol zyada tar cars aur motorbikes mein istemal hota hai, khas taur par shehri ilaqon mein. Hukumat ne is dafa petrol ki qeemat mein koi tabdeeli nahi ki, jis se aam shehri consumers ke fuel bills waise hi rahain ge.
Punjab mein petrol ka istemal zyada hai kyun ke CNG ki availability limited hai.
Fuel Prices Reviewed Every Fortnight
Pakistan mein fuel prices har 15 din baad review ki jati hain. Is mein:
- Global oil prices
- Dollar exchange rate
- Taxes aur levies
- IMF ke sath chalnay walay economic reforms
sab factors shamil hotay hain. Blanket fuel subsidies hatanay ke baad, hukumat ka kehna hai ke qeematein market realities ke mutabiq adjust ki jati hain.
Economic Impact and Public Reaction
Diesel ki qeemat kam honay se mehangai par kuch pressure kam honay ki umeed ki ja rahi hai, lekin public ka kehna hai ke asal asar tab hoga jab transport fares aur food prices bhi niche aayen.
Hukumat ka moqif hai ke IMF program ke tehat fiscal discipline zaroori hai, is liye fuel pricing par zyada flexibility possible nahi.
