Historical Context
Remember September 2023? Petrol hit an all-time high of Rs. 331.38/liter. We’ve come a long way since then, with prices now at more manageable levels.
How Prices Are Decided
OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) reviews prices twice monthly on the 1st and 16th. They consider international oil prices, exchange rates, and local taxes before making recommendations to the government.
