On Monday, September 15, 2025, Pakistan’s Finance Division announced new fuel prices effective from September 16. Petrol prices remain unchanged at Rs264.61 per litre, reflecting the current Pakistan petrol diesel prices, while high-speed diesel will rise by Rs2.78 to Rs272.77 per litre. The decision reflects global oil market trends and recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
The Finance Division confirmed that diesel, previously priced at Rs269.99 per litre, will now cost Rs272.77, in line with recent changes in Pakistan petrol and diesel prices. Petrol prices stay steady at Rs264.61 for the next two weeks. The adjustments come after OGRA’s input and consultations with the Ministry of Petroleum, factoring in international oil price fluctuations.
Petrol powers small vehicles, rickshaws, and motorcycles, mainly used by middle and lower-middle-class families. Stable petrol prices offer some relief to these households. However, diesel fuel is used in trucks, buses, trains, and farm equipment like tractors. The diesel price hike could raise costs for goods transport, leading to higher prices for vegetables and other essentials, impacting inflation. Monitoring the Pakistan petrol and diesel prices will be crucial for understanding these economic dynamics.
