Ogra stresses against theorizing about oil cost decrease.
Hypothesis can "disturb" smooth working of oil production network.
Government serves last week asserted POL costs would diminish.
ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Administrative Power (Ogra) Monday educated against conjecturing on the cost regarding oil based goods after government clergymen guaranteed the POL rates would almost certainly be decreased in the following fortnightly survey.
Guardian Government Trade and Ventures Pastor Gohar Ejaz and Interval Bureaucratic Clergyman for Data and Broadcasting Murtaza Solangi said last week that POL costs would be decreased after the rupee made strides against the dollar.
Over the most recent 14 days, the rupee has acquired around Rs16 against the greenback, provoking the cases, as Pakistan, being a shipper of POL, buys the item in dollars.
In the past fortnightly survey, the guardian government had lifted the petroleum cost by more than Rs26 and diesel by over Rs17 per liter to Rs331.38 and Rs329.18, separately — the most noteworthy ever.
In light of the pastors' cases, Ogra gave an assertion saying: "[the authority] might want to underline the significance of staying away from hypotheses with respect to the costs of oil based commodities."
The power referenced that oil based good costs in Pakistan are basically reliant upon worldwide market costs and the conversion standard of the Dollar.
As of late, it said, there has been a flood in worldwide petrol costs, while the dollar-to-rupee swapping scale has shown improvement.
However, the authority said, it is crucial for feature that there is as yet multi week staying before the declaration of new costs.
"Accordingly, any hypothesis about cost increments or diminishes during this period is profoundly speculative and might actually upset the smooth working of the oil inventory network."
