Officials confirmed that OGRA will forward the pricing summary to the government on December 15. Once the prime minister gives the go-ahead, the Petroleum Division will issue the formal notification.
If the proposed cuts are approved, petrol will be priced at Rs263.09 per litre, high-speed diesel at Rs267.80, kerosene oil at Rs181.16, and light diesel at Rs153.76 per litre.
For many consumers, the potential drop in fuel rates may serve as a much-needed breather, offering some relief in an otherwise tough economic climate.
