Although the fuel price revision scheduled for this month was scheduled for today, the government has decided to postpone it until May 2, political sources say.
Financial analysts point out that the cost of three fuel tankers recently purchased at a high price of $286 per barrel of crude oil has had to be added to the price formula this time, and that a liter of diesel has had to be increased to Rs. 700 to avoid a loss for the government from that fuel.
However, government sources say that the government has decided to provide the maximum relief possible to the people by bearing a certain portion of the cost through the treasury.
However, since International Workers’ Day falls tomorrow, it is reported that the government has considered the proposal that it is politically inappropriate to increase prices significantly.
