Petrol pumps across Pakistan are set to shut indefinitely from midnight after negotiations between petrol pump associations and the government failed to resolve disputes over the shift to daily petroleum price revisions. The All Pakistan Petrol Pumps Association and its affiliates say daily price changes are unacceptable and that dealer commissions and pricing structures must be reviewed, warning that continuing losses threaten their viability. The government has moved to a daily ex-depot pricing mechanism with OGRA determining prices based on a seven-day average, a policy dealers say would disrupt operations and fuel availability. Associations argue that the new regime would create operational difficulties and that they were left out of the decision-making process, prompting the nationwide shutdown that could disrupt supply across Pakistan, including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir. Authorities have not issued a detailed response, and further talks were expected as both sides seek a resolution to prevent extended fuel shortages. The developments come amid broader concerns about fuel affordability and potential impacts on public transport and daily life as the shutdown proceeds.
