This change in fuel prices is part of the government’s regular review, which is usually based on changes in global oil prices and other economic factors. The new prices have come into effect immediately and are expected to impact transport costs, goods delivery, and overall living expenses for people across the country.
The increase in diesel price is likely to affect industries and public transport more, as diesel is widely used in trucks, buses, and heavy machinery. Petrol, used mostly in private vehicles and motorcycles, will also put extra pressure on daily commuters.
Many citizens have expressed concern over the rising fuel costs, as they are already dealing with high inflation and economic challenges. Business owners also fear that the increase will lead to higher prices of everyday items due to increased transportation costs.
Government officials have stated that the increase was necessary and linked to international market trends. However, people are hoping for relief in the coming weeks if global oil prices drop or the local currency strengthens.
