  "summary": "The Pakistani government has announced a price hike for petrol and High-Speed Diesel (HSD), effective from August 22 to August 24. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) revised the ex-depot prices of petroleum products, raising the price of petrol by Rs3.81 per litre, from Rs337.78 to Rs341.59 per litre. Similarly, the price of HSD was increased by Rs3.59 per litre, from Rs364.70 to Rs368.29 per litre. These adjustments are part of the government's ongoing practice of aligning fuel prices with international oil markets and other cost factors. The previous review in the same week saw a minor increase in HSD and petrol prices.",
