Final Verdict
The latest fuel price revision brings relief for the transport, agriculture and industrial sectors through a significant diesel price cut. While keeping petrol stable helps the government maintain revenue. Overall, we expect the move to ease inflationary pressure and provide short-term economic relief. Although high levies still limit the full benefit of falling global oil prices for consumers.
