Similarly, the price of light diesel oil has remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, from August 1, kerosene would be Rs0.35 more expensive per litre, costing Rs85.75 per litre.
It was rumoured that OGRA had proposed a fuel price rise of Rs1.71 per litre and a diesel price increase of Rs2.27 per litre.
It was also claimed that it suggested a Rs0.35 per litre increase in kerosene prices and a Rs0.24 increase in light diesel oil prices.
