The federal government has increased the Climate Support Levy on petrol and diesel from July 1, while simultaneously reducing the Petroleum Levy, keeping fuel prices unchanged for consumers.
According to a notification issued by the Petroleum Division, the Climate Support Levy on both petrol and diesel has been increased by Rs2.5 per litre.
As a result, the levy has risen from Rs2.5 to Rs5 per litre.
At the same time, the government has reduced the Petroleum Levy on both fuels by Rs2.5 per litre.
Officials said the adjustment in the two levies offsets the impact on retail fuel prices, meaning the current prices of petrol and diesel will remain unchanged.
