Pakistan’s petrol pump owners and dealers have postponed their nationwide strike after receiving assurances from the government. The petrol dealers strike will not begin as planned because officials promised to address dealers’ concerns. The government also agreed to review commissions and the proposed daily fuel pricing system.

The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association confirmed the decision in an official statement. The association said it had postponed the strike after successful talks with government representatives. It also welcomed the promise to increase dealers’ profit margins.

Information Secretary of the Petrol Pumps Owners Association, Nadeem Khan, said officials assured the association that its demands would receive attention. He expressed hope that authorities would resolve the commission issue within two weeks.

Nadeem Khan also said the government would introduce the daily fuel pricing system on a trial basis. The trial will continue for two weeks. After that, both sides will review the results before making a final decision.

Federal Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik said the government remains committed to resolving the concerns of petrol pump owners and dealers. He added that officials would hold another meeting if any issue remained unresolved after two weeks.

The minister also said the government wants a transparent fuel pricing system. He explained that authorities do not support unfair profits in the petroleum sector. He added that consumers should receive the benefits when international oil prices fall.

The agreement has reduced tensions between the government and fuel retailers. Both sides will continue discussions during the next two weeks. They will focus on dealer margins, commissions, and the proposed pricing mechanism.

The petrol dealers strike has been postponed after the latest agreement. Government officials and fuel retailers will continue negotiations. Both sides hope to reach a permanent solution without disrupting fuel supplies.
