Petrol and Diesel Prices Increased in Pakistan - Details

In a recent development, the Government of Pakistan has implemented a sharp increase in the fuel prices across the country. As part of the regular bi-monthly price revision, both petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) rates have gone up, reflecting the pressure from global oil trends and domestic market shifts. This update has directly impacted motorists and transporters alike, who are now facing higher running costs.

Petrol and Diesel Price Hike

The petrol price hike is recorded at Rs. 5.36 per liter, bringing the new rate to Rs. 272.15 from the previous Rs. 266.79. On the other hand, diesel price increase is even more significant, with HSD rates surging by Rs. 11.37 per liter — from Rs. 272.98 to Rs. 284.35. This marks a considerable jump in high-speed diesel rate, which will likely affect goods transport and public transportation fares nationwide.

Fuel Type	Old Price (Rs. per liter)	New Price (Rs. per liter)	Increase (Rs. per liter)
Petrol	266.79	272.15	5.36
High-Speed Diesel (HSD)	272.98	284.35	11.37

Reasons Behind the Fuel Price Adjustment

This fuel price adjustment is based on recommendations by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), which analyzes international oil market fluctuations and domestic cost factors. The authorities cite increased global crude oil rates and changes in import premiums as key factors contributing to this hike. The adjustment aligns with the government’s pricing formula to maintain fiscal stability while responding to global supply dynamics.

Impact on Consumers and Transport Sector

The increase in Pakistan fuel prices will directly affect daily commuting, long-distance travel, and the cost of transporting goods. Since diesel cost update impacts cargo and agriculture machinery, inflationary pressure is expected to grow in the coming weeks. Transport unions have already voiced concerns over potential fare revisions. Citizens are now more conscious of fuel consumption, seeking ways to optimize travel and save on monthly fuel expenses.

What’s Next for the Public?

If global oil prices continue to rise, further hikes in fuel rate July 2025 and the upcoming months cannot be ruled out. The government has assured that rates will be reviewed regularly and adjusted based on actual international market trends. Meanwhile, the public is encouraged to monitor updates on latest petrol and diesel rates through official government platforms.
