Concerns and Opposition:
Expressing concerns, the association argues that determining petroleum product prices every week could lead to shortages at petrol pumps.
They emphasize that such a frequent adjustment could result in pumps drying up, holding the government responsible for potential fuel shortages.
Notably, the dealers had suggested fixing prices for a longer duration, proposing a 30-day interval instead of the current 15-day period.
They highlight that the rapid changes in pricing contribute to shortages and disrupt the supply chain, particularly affecting pumps in remote areas.
With the changing scenarios in the global arena, Pakistan is also trying to adjust to these changes. But how it will impact the nation depends on the coming times.
