  "summary": "The federal government has announced a reduction in the ex-depot prices of high-speed diesel (HSD) and motor spirit (petrol). The HSD price has been cut by Rs2.63 per litre, dropping from Rs414.75 to Rs412.12 per litre, while the petrol price has decreased by Rs0.84 per litre, falling from Rs390.12 to Rs389.28 per litre. These revised prices, effective from September 25, 2026, were announced by the Petroleum Division under the petroleum pricing mechanism. The change in prices is attributed to global developments, including adjustments in Platts rates, premiums, and incidentals. This is the latest in a series of price reductions, with the government previously cutting diesel prices by Rs4.21 and petrol prices by Rs1.93 per litre.",
