NPA reduces fuel margins by 8 pesewas

In a joint statement, the above parties said the 8 pesewas reduction will take effect from Wednesday, May 5, 2021. “The 17 pesewas per liter increase in fuel margins previously announced by the NPA has been reduced to 9 pesewas per liter, effective from tomorrow Wednesday 5th may, 2021.” The reduction in petroleum margins will, however, not stop the expected increase in transport fares this week.
