KARACHI: Amid easing prices from unprecedented levels, industry stakeholders still complain that diesel smuggling from Iran continues unabated, while the government has yet to take serious action to curb the influx of smuggled products despite repeated reminders. Local diesel sales in May plunged to 15,000 tonnes per day from 20,000-22,000 tonnes per day, indicating that the country consumed 5,000-6,000 tonnes of smuggled Iranian diesel, causing a loss of sales to the local industry. Sales of diesel in May stood at 455,000 tonnes, down 32pc year-on-year and 17pc month-on-month, while 11MFY26 sales inched up by 1pc to 6.354m tonnes.
