The sharp hike of Rs6.51 in petrol and a massive Rs19.39 surge in diesel has pushed fuel prices to a historic Rs400/litre mark, underscoring how quickly the Middle East crisis is hitting Pakistani households. With global crude benchmarks spiking due to supply fears and shipping disruptions, the government’s fortnightly adjustment passed the full impact to consumers in one go, triggering immediate concerns over transport costs, food inflation, and industrial input prices. For daily commuters, truckers, and small businesses already squeezed by inflation, diesel breaching such levels means higher fares, costlier goods, and tougher monthly budgets, turning the global geopolitical shock into a very local economic strain.
