Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed that motorcycles, rickshaws and vehicles registered after January 1, 2006, are now eligible to receive relief under the newly introduced Prime Minister Fuel Relief Scheme. This expands the scheme to include 20-year-old motorcycles, rickshaws and Qingqis, providing them with relief on 20 litres of petrol per month.
The scheme, launched in response to the surge in global oil prices due to Middle East tensions, grants a Rs100 per litre relief to owners of motorcycles, rickshaws, Qingqis, three-wheelers and vehicles with engines up to 800cc. However, the scheme's initial rollout faced challenges as some petrol pumps struggled to accept the digital app due to lack of necessary systems.
The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association also expressed concern about the awareness among its members regarding the subsidy disbursement mechanism.
