Along with this price increase, the caretaker government met another IMF demand by imposing an additional Rs 5 duty on petrol, raising the levy from Rs 55 to Rs 60.

According to sources within the Finance Ministry, the petroleum development levy on high-speed diesel (HSD) has not changed and remains at Rs 50 per litre.
