On August 29, the regulatory body had sent a summary to Petroleum division recommending an increase of over Rs 9 in petroleum prices for September.

valid reason

OGRA is independent in tariff calculation. It is being made autonomous to a certain degree, and it's calculations are based on international Brent crude prices. I do not know if it is a good idea or a bad one to overrule OGRA. We are still paying alot less than the price in 2018. And yes we should always keep the rupee devaluation in mind when comparing prices.
