The causes of Pakistan’s most recent spike in the cost of gasoline and diesel have been made public. An official document states that while other levies have remained the same, the price increase is mostly the result of higher freight margins and customs duties.
Because of higher expenses, gas prices are rising.
The petrol freight margin has increased from Rs6.65 to Rs8.69 per litre, an increase of Rs2.04 per litre. Additionally, there is now a Rs1.35 per liter rise in the customs charge on gasoline.
The petroleum levy has been kept at Rs78.02 per litre, while the carbon fee has remained at Rs2.50 per litre notwithstanding these increases.
According to the paper, the dealer margin on gasoline stays at Rs8.64 per liter, while the distribution margin is Rs7.87 per liter.
