  "summary": "The federal government has raised the ex-depot price of petrol by Rs2.02, increasing it to Rs391.30 per litre, while decreasing the price of high-speed diesel by Rs3.59, reducing it to Rs408.53 per litre. These revised prices will be effective from September 26 to September 28, 2026, based on the petroleum pricing mechanism issued by the federal government. The change in prices is attributed to global market developments, including alterations in Platts rates, premiums, and incidentals.",
