ISLAMABAD: The federal government has raised fuel prices in Pakistan for the next 15 days, increasing petrol by Rs4.07 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs4.04 per litre.
According to a press release from the Finance Division, the new price of petrol is Rs268.68 per litre, up from Rs264.61. Diesel now costs Rs276.81 per litre, compared to Rs272.77 earlier.
The Finance Division said the decision was taken on the recommendations of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) and other relevant ministries.
Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan from October 1, 2025:
| Product | Old Price (Rs/Litre) | New Price (Rs/Litre) | Change (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol (MS) | 264.61 | 268.68 | +4.07 |
| High-Speed Diesel | 272.77 | 276.81 | +4.04 |
Petrol, widely used in motorcycles, rickshaws, and private vehicles, directly affects middle- and low-income families. Diesel is considered even more inflationary as it powers heavy transport, agriculture machinery, and trains, raising the cost of food and essential items.
Currently, the government does not charge GST on petroleum products but collects heavy levies.
These include Rs79.50 per litre on diesel and Rs80.52 per litre on petrol and high-octane, which also covers Rs2.50 per litre under the CSL. Customs duties of Rs16–17 per litre are also applied to both fuels, whether imported or locally produced.
Earlier, on September 16, the federal government had announced new petroleum prices for the next 15 days, keeping petrol unchanged while increasing the price of high-speed diesel.
Meanwhile, Ogra has announced a reduction in the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for October. The price has been slashed by Rs6.70 per kilogramme. An 11.8kg cylinder, which cost Rs2,527.47 in September, will now be available at Rs2,448.33, a cut of Rs79.14 or 3.13 percent.
In its statement, Ogra explained that LPG prices are linked to the Saudi Aramco Contract Price (CP) and the US dollar exchange rate. It said Saudi Aramco-CP fell by 3.78 percent compared to last month, while the dollar exchange rate rose slightly by 0.23 percent.
