Islamabad: The federal government has approved the release of two additional installments under its Petrol Subsidy Scheme, offering financial relief to motorcyclists, public transport operators, vehicle owners, and farmers struggling with the impact of higher fuel costs.
According to Beyond Time News, eligible beneficiaries will receive a combined payment of Rs4,000 during June 2026 through the fifth and sixth installments of the subsidy programme.
The decision came during a high-level review meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar in Islamabad.
Government Expands Fuel Relief Efforts
Officials reviewed the progress of the Petrol Subsidy Scheme, which the government launched to reduce the financial burden caused by rising fuel prices.
The programme targets vulnerable groups that rely heavily on fuel for transportation, agriculture, and daily economic activities. Therefore, authorities continue to prioritize timely payments and efficient distribution.
During the meeting, officials confirmed that the government had already disbursed four installments successfully over the past two months. Moreover, beneficiaries received those payments on a biweekly basis without major implementation issues.
Eligible Beneficiaries to Receive Rs4,000
Under the latest phase of the scheme, qualifying recipients will receive a total of Rs4,000 during June.
The amount combines the fifth and sixth installments of the subsidy programme. As a result, thousands of eligible citizens across the country are expected to benefit from the financial assistance.
Officials believe the additional support will help offset transportation and operational costs that have increased due to fluctuations in fuel prices.
Focus on Motorcyclists, Farmers, and Public Transport
Motorcyclists remain among the largest beneficiary groups under the scheme. Many workers and low-income households depend on motorcycles for commuting and daily income generation.
Similarly, farmers continue to face rising operational expenses linked to fuel consumption. Consequently, the subsidy aims to ease financial pressure on the agricultural sector.
Public transport operators and vehicle owners also stand to benefit. The government hopes the relief package will help reduce economic strain on transport services and maintain affordability for commuters.

Relief Measure Amid Rising Fuel Costs
The Petrol Subsidy Scheme forms part of the government’s broader efforts to protect vulnerable segments of society from the effects of rising fuel prices.
Global energy market fluctuations, regional tensions, and supply disruptions have placed additional pressure on fuel costs in recent months. Therefore, authorities continue to explore targeted measures that can provide relief to affected groups.
Officials believe the latest payments will offer short-term support while helping households and businesses manage transportation-related expenses more effectively.
