The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has reduced the fuel quota for official vehicles by 25 percent as part of a broader strategy to control administrative expenses and conserve energy resources. The provincial administration department has formally notified all departments about the revised policy through an official directive. Authorities said the move aims to reduce excessive fuel consumption in government operations. Consequently, several senior officials and departments will now operate under stricter monthly fuel limits.
According to the official notification, the new policy applies to ministers, advisers, special assistants, and various administrative offices across the province. Their monthly fuel quota has been reduced from 390 liters to 292 liters. Officials explained that the reduction reflects the provincial government’s effort to introduce financial discipline and improve resource management. Therefore, departments have been instructed to ensure that official transport use remains strictly within the revised limits.

Meanwhile, the fuel allocation for senior bureaucrats has also been reduced under the new policy. The chief secretary, additional chief secretary, and finance secretary will now receive 98 liters of fuel per month instead of the previous 146 liters. Authorities believe these reductions will encourage responsible use of government vehicles while helping the administration reduce operational costs.
Furthermore, the directive also affects district-level administration and law enforcement officials across the province. The monthly fuel quota for deputy commissioners, additional deputy commissioners, and superintendents of police has been reduced from 104 liters to 78 liters. Officials said these adjustments are intended to ensure that cost-saving measures are applied evenly across different levels of government administration.
