Diesel and Petrol Prices in Pakistan: Analysis
Well, as I predicted, the increase in fuel prices was expected due to an increase in global petroleum prices. We may see another hike on January 16, 2025, if the global petroleum prices keep climbing. Another price hike is also expected when the government increases the petroleum levy from Rs. 60 (current) to Rs. 70 (as proposed in the budget 2024-25).

The Pakistani public does not pay any kind of TAX willingly. They fail to understand that governments need revenue the run the country. So the Pakistani government collects revenue the only way it can. From utilities and fuel.
Example; TV licence payment is included automatically in the electricity bill along with some other taxes.
