Petrol prices likely to rise by Rs11 per litre

Petrol prices in Pakistan are expected to rise by Rs11 per litre, while diesel prices are set to increase by up to Rs15 per litre, starting July 1, 2025.

These increases are attributed to the global surge in crude oil prices and the continued depreciation of the Pakistani rupee

The Petroleum Division has confirmed the anticipated price hikes. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) is expected to send a summary to the Ministry of Petroleum today, with an official announcement of the revised prices expected later this evening.

The Finance Minister, in consultation with the Prime Minister, will finalise and approve the new pricing structure.

These expected hikes follow a recent increase in fuel prices that took effect on June 16, 2025. The price of petrol was raised by Rs4.80 per litre. Similarly, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) increased by Rs7.95 per litre

On the other hand, OGRA has officially issued a notification for a significant increase in gas prices for domestic and other consumer categories, with the new rates coming into effect from July 1, 2025.

The move brings further financial pressure on inflation-hit citizens, as domestic gas tariffs have been revised upward by up to 50% in certain categories.
