Pakistan has officially launched a new mobile application, ‘Raahguzar’, in Islamabad to bring greater transparency and accountability to the country’s fuel sector. The app, developed with integrated GIS technology, allows users to easily locate licensed petrol pumps nationwide while also giving them the option to report unregistered or illegal fuel stations.
By addressing issues such as overpricing, fuel adulteration, and low-quality petrol, Raahguzar empowers both consumers and regulators. Citizens can now make informed decisions about where to purchase fuel, while authorities gain a powerful tool to identify and act against violations.
This initiative is part of the government’s broader plan to digitize the oil and gas sector. With a track-and-trace system as its foundation, Raahguzar marks the first phase of a modern regulatory framework designed to reduce economic losses, enhance accountability, and eliminate unfair practices that have long plagued the industry.
According to officials, the app will not only support consumers but also strengthen Pakistan’s fuel supply chain by making it more efficient, transparent, and resistant to illegal activity. By providing real-time data and reporting channels, the system makes it harder for unlicensed outlets to operate unchecked.
The launch of Raahguzar is being hailed as a milestone in digital governance, with experts noting its potential to improve business practices, protect consumers, and promote economic stability in the long run. As Pakistan continues its journey towards modernization, digital solutions like Raahguzar will play a critical role in shaping a fairer and more sustainable future for the country’s energy sector.
