The All Pakistan Goods Transport Alliance has announced a 7% rise in freight rates, citing a significant surge in fuel costs. Alliance President Malik Shehzad Awan highlighted that diesel prices have climbed by Rs. 26.88 per liter, while petrol prices have surged by Rs. 20 per liter in the last week. This increase in fuel prices has exacerbated operating costs for the sector, making it challenging for transporters to sustain current freight rates, Awan explained.
Higher freight charges may also lead to increased costs for transporting essential goods like food, industrial products, and other necessities across the nation, raising worries about additional price hikes. The announcement follows the government's further hike in diesel prices by Rs. 3.47 per liter, bringing the price to Rs. 424.92 per liter.
