With this latest reduction, the total relief provided to the public in terms of petrol prices has reached Rs35 per litre.

Earlier, it was reported that the government was expected to pass on the impact of lower international prices to consumers with a cut in the rates of petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD).

According to sources, the prices of petrol and HSD had declined in the international market by about $3.75 and $2.7 per barrel, respectively, in the last two weeks.
