Pakistan Offers Discounted Petrol for Motorcycles and Small Cars

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has announced a special relief scheme to mitigate the impact of rising global oil prices on the public. The scheme provides a Rs100 per litre relief on petrol for users of motorcycles, rickshaws, and vehicles up to 800cc.

The government is fully aware of the burden being placed on the public due to the increase in oil prices, according to the PMO. In this hour of difficulty, we will not leave the public alone, said the Prime Minister.

Under the scheme, two- and three-wheelers will receive a Rs100 per litre relief on a monthly quota of 20 litres. Owners of small vehicles with engine capacities of up to 800cc will qualify for the same relief on a monthly quota of 30 litres.
