Petrol Price in Pakistan Rises by Rs1 to Rs253.63 per Litre

Petrol Price in Pakistan:The Government of Pakistan has announced a Rs1 per litre increase in petrol prices, bringing the new rate to Rs253.63 per litre, effective from June 1, 2025. This adjustment follows recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and relevant ministries.

Diesel Prices Remain Unchanged

While petrol prices have seen a slight uptick, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) remains steady at Rs254.64 per litre. This decision provides some relief to sectors heavily reliant on diesel, such as transportation and agriculture.

LPG Prices Decrease

In contrast to the petrol price hike, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced a reduction in the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by Rs4.62 per kilogram for June 2025. This decrease is attributed to a drop in international LPG prices and a slight appreciation of the Pakistani rupee.

Implications for Consumers

The Rs1 increase in petrol prices, though modest, may impact daily commuters and businesses dependent on fuel. Consumers are advised to monitor fuel consumption and explore energy-efficient alternatives where possible.

Future Outlook

With global oil prices remaining volatile and domestic fiscal policies under review, further adjustments in fuel prices are anticipated in the coming months. Stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed about potential changes that may affect fuel costs and consumption patterns.
