The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the federal cabinet has approved Rs. 75 billion for the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme to provide targeted financial support to lower-income consumers facing higher petrol prices.
Under the scheme, users of two- and three-wheelers will receive Rs. 500 per week, equivalent to relief on five litres of petrol at Rs. 100 per litre.
Owners of cars with engines of up to 800cc will receive Rs. 1,000 every 10 days. The benefit is calculated on the basis of 30 litres of petrol per month at a relief rate of Rs. 100 per litre.
The scheme will be limited to non-commercial users, with each eligible user or owner allowed to receive relief for only one vehicle.
The Ministry of IT and Telecom will deploy and manage the Fuel Pass System (FPS) to digitally implement the scheme. The government expects the system to improve transparency and ensure that financial support reaches eligible consumers.
The Rs. 75 billion allocation has been approved as a Technical Supplementary Grant (TSG) for implementation of the fuel relief program.
By focusing on smaller vehicles and excluding commercial users, the government aims to direct petrol relief toward lower-income consumers who are more vulnerable to rising fuel costs.
