PM Shehbaz Announces Rs100 per Litre Petrol Relief for Motorcycles, Small Vehicles
The subsidy covers up to 20 litres a month for motorcycles, rickshaws and small cars as Pakistan responds to higher fuel costs.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif launched a special relief scheme providing Rs100 per litre discount on petrol for motorcyclists, rickshaw drivers, and owners of vehicles up to 800cc.
- Global oil prices have surged amid Middle East tensions, straining Pakistan's economy significantly. Petroleum products constitute one of the country's largest import categories, making it highly vulnerable to international market volatility.
- Motorcycle and rickshaw owners receive relief on up to 20 litres monthly, while small car owners with engines up to 800cc receive the same discount on up to 30 litres. The PMO will explain registration through an awareness campaign.
- Implementation begins in Islamabad Capital Territory on the night between Monday and Tuesday. The scheme will then expand across Pakistan, including Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, on the night between Wednesday and Thursday.
- Shehbaz Sharif stated the government fully understands the public's burden from rising prices. He emphasized authorities "will not leave the people alone in this difficult time," framing the initiative as necessary support during economic hardship.
