Why did petrol and diesel become expensive?
The main reason for the increase in fuel prices in Pakistan is the increased tension in the Middle East and the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

Crude oil from a large part of the world passes through this route, hence as tensions increased, oil prices increased rapidly in the international market.
