ISLAMABAD: A significant drop in petrol prices is expected in Pakistan starting September 16, following the scheduled review on September 15.

In the upcoming review scheduled for the next fortnight, petrol and High-Speed Diesel (HSD) prices in Pakistan are expected to decrease by Rs10-11 per litre.

According to Dawn, international prices for petrol and High-Speed Diesel (HSD) have decreased by approximately $5 per barrel.

This drop is expected to be reflected in petroleum prices in Pakistan, provided that the petroleum levy remains unchanged and the final exchange rate calculations and existing tax rates are taken into account.
