Following the approval, the Ministry of Petroleum issued the official notification, making the revised fuel prices effective from January 1.

Why This Fuel Price Cut Matters

Meanwhile, high-speed diesel plays a key role in transportation and agriculture, influencing the prices of food items and essential goods.

Experts believe the latest fuel price reduction could help lower transport costs, ease inflationary pressure, and provide broader economic relief in the coming weeks.

As Pakistan steps into the New Year, the fuel price cut is being seen as a positive signal for consumers, offering some financial breathing space amid rising living costs.
