ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): CNG prices went up across Pakistan after a series of hikes in petrol and diesel rates, and now it looks like consumers are getting hit again, with fresh pressure day by day.
Petroleum companies rolled out the latest CNG price revision after fuel costs kept climbing without much pause. This new change seems to mirror the continued wobble in the energy market, plus the higher input prices behind transport fuel.
In most big cities across Pakistan, CNG rates jumped upward right away. The average figure is now sitting at a higher level, and that directly adds to daily commuting expenses for motorists and also for public transport operators.
Unsurprisingly, the increase is raising worries for commuters, who are already dealing with inflation-style spending. Industry sources say the rise is tied to movements in the international oil market, along with supply pressures.
They add that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have disturbed global energy flows, and crude oil prices have been pushed higher as a result. People have been reporting stronger financial strain because transport fares and operating costs keep rising.
Several vehicle owners mentioned that repeated fuel adjustments have made travel feel more and more costly. Experts also warned that if global energy markets stay unstable and if exchange rates keep shifting, there could be even more fuel price revisions in the coming weeks.
They said domestic CNG pricing will keep tracking international trends while also reacting to local cost pressure and rates
