Old memories...... #petrolprice pic.twitter.com/p7cTLz3b5q - Muhammad Zarshal (@MZarshalTariqq) August 1, 2019 The government increased the ex-depot rate of HSD to Rs 132.47 per litre, from Rs126.82, showing an increase of about 4.45 per cent. Likewise, the government increased the ex-depot price of petrol to Rs 117.83 per litre from Rs 112.68 -- up about 4.6 per cent. Similarly, the ex-depot price of LDO was fixed at Rs 97.52 per litre - up more than 10 per cent over the previous rate of Rs 88.62. The kerosene price was fixed at Rs 103.84 per litre, showing an increase of about 5.5 per cent over the previous rate of Rs 98.46. The government is charging 17 per cent general sales tax (GST) on all petroleum products. Another sheer blow to #PetrolPrice! This will leave the poor masses more in trouble, for sure. Its pretty obvious that the recent IMF loan package will cause these jolts in prices by intermittently, but its a request do not put this much burden on public at once. #Petrol pic.twitter.com/nAljg7OOLX - Saira Anwer (@SairaAnwer1) July 31, 2019 Besides the GST, the petroleum levy ranging between Rs 14-18 per litre was being charged on petrol and HSD and Rs 3-6 on kerosene and LDO. Petrol and HSD are two major products that generate most of the revenue because of their massive and yet growing consumption in the country. Total HSD sales are touching 800,000 tonnes against monthly consumption of around 700,000 tonnes of petrol. The sales of kerosene and LDO are generally less than 10,000 tonnes per month.
