Petrol pump owners across Pakistan have raised concerns over the government’s current weekly fuel price adjustment system, calling it financially and operationally disruptive. The issue has now been formally taken to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif through an official letter. The All Pakistan Petrol Pump Owners Association has expressed strong reservations about the existing mechanism for determining petroleum product prices on a weekly basis. According to the association, the frequent adjustments are creating serious business complications, prompting them to demand a return to the earlier 15-day pricing cycle.In this regard, Association Vice Chairman Noman Ali Butt has written a detailed letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The letter outlines the operational and financial challenges faced by petrol pump owners under the current system. It highlights that constant price fluctuations are placing heavy pressure on accounting systems and day-to-day business management. The association says weekly price changes are affecting not just business operations but also consumer behavior. Frequent revisions make it harder to maintain stable sales patterns and increase administrative burdens for dealers and station owners.
