IslamabadDiesel in Pakistan now costs Rs400.67 a litre.

Diesel mainly fuels heavy transport, power plants and generators, so the increase spreads across the economy.

Taxes and duties take Rs100 of each litre of diesel and Rs114 of petrol, the Petroleum Division said.

Diesel remains below its Rs520.35 peak of 3 April, set after the US-Iran war began.

Jamaat-i-Islami says it will march on Islamabad in mid-November unless the government announces major relief from the petroleum levy.
