Pakistan Ramps Up Diesel, Jet Fuel Stocks Amid India Tensions Post-Pahalgam Attack

In response to heightened tensions with India following the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025, Pakistan’s federal government has ordered oil companies and refineries to ensure maximum availability of diesel and jet fuel.

Tribune Pakistan and Dawn News reported that the directive, issued shortly after the incident in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, aims to safeguard energy supplies in response to a deteriorating regional security environment.

The Directorate General of Oil has instructed Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and other importers to fast-track petroleum imports and maintain robust reserves to prevent supply disruptions in potential emergencies. Refineries and oil marketing firms have been specifically directed to prioritise high-speed diesel and jet fuel. Petroleum officials confirmed that existing fuel stocks, including aviation and transport-grade fuels, are adequate but stressed that emergency protocols are now in effect to bolster preparedness.

Escalating India-Pakistan Conflict

The Pahalgam attack has significantly strained India-Pakistan relations, raising concerns about further escalation. India accused Pakistan of orchestrating the attack, suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, downgrading diplomatic ties, sealing the Attari-Wagah border, and ordering Pakistani nationals to leave within 48 hours. Pakistan rejected these claims, warning that any attempt to block water flow would be considered an act of war. Following a high-level National Security Committee meeting, Pakistan closed the Wagah border crossing, halting civilian movement and trade.

The emphasis on diesel and jet fuel reflects their critical importance for transportation, aviation, and potential military needs. By securing ample reserves, Pakistan aims to mitigate the risks of fuel shortages if the conflict intensifies. Sources within oil marketing firms noted the directive’s urgency, highlighting the government’s proactive response to the crisis.

The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, a rare point of cooperation between the two nations, has heightened fears of a broader conflict. International observers, including the United Nations, have called for restraint to avoid further destabilisation in South Asia.
