KP Govt Cuts Official Vehicle Usage by 60% to Tackle Fuel Crisis as rising fuel costs and regional supply disruptions impact the province. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to ground most official vehicles for two months, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and manage petroleum supplies efficiently. This government vehicle fuel reduction plan also seeks to protect national foreign exchange reserves during the ongoing Middle East crisis.
The provincial administration has issued notifications to all departments, instructing strict compliance with the new official vehicle restrictions. Fuel quota cuts will apply to ministers, advisers, and senior officials, while deputy commissioners and police operational duties remain exempt. Emergency services, law enforcement, and field enforcement units will continue using vehicles, ensuring public safety is not compromised.
Under the revised policy, ministerial fuel limits drop from 390 liters to 292 liters per month. Senior administrative officials will also face reductions, and office attendance rationalization measures aim to further cut fuel use. Transport wing notifications emphasize that compliance is mandatory, and departments must manage petroleum supplies carefully. Judicial officers at the Peshawar High Court will see fuel allowance reductions and handle urgent civil and criminal matters on a rotational schedule.
These government austerity measures demonstrate KP’s commitment to energy efficiency and resource management during a crisis. By grounding official vehicles and implementing fuel limits, the province expects to save significant fuel, reduce operational costs, and model responsible governance.
