In a fresh development, it is being reported that the government will increase the rates of CNG by PKR 15 per kilo.
As per the details, the hike in rates will affect the CNG stations in KP, Sindh, and Balochistan the most, while, on the other hand, the gas stations in Punjab will not be affected that much as almost all the gas stations have converted from CNG to LNG.
