By The Government of Pakistan has officially revised fuel prices, with new rates taking effect from June 16, 2025. This change follows recommendations by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), which conducts bi-monthly price reviews based on fluctuations in the global oil market and domestic economic indicators.
According to the latest notification, petrol prices have been increased by Rs. 4.80 per liter, setting the new rate at Rs. 258.43, up from the previous Rs. 253.63. Similarly, the price of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) has gone up by Rs. 7.95, bringing the new rate to Rs. 262.59 per liter, compared to Rs. 254.64 earlier.
These adjustments are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to align domestic fuel prices with international oil trends, exchange rate dynamics, and supply chain considerations.
Impact on Consumers and Businesses
The latest fuel price hike is expected to have a ripple effect on various sectors. Transportation costs are likely to rise, which may lead to increased prices of goods and essential services, affecting household budgets and business operations alike. Public transport fares, freight charges, and agricultural machinery operations could also see cost adjustments in response to the higher fuel rates.
Future Outlook
Fuel prices in Pakistan are reviewed on a fortnightly basis, meaning additional changes could be announced depending on shifts in the global crude oil market, exchange rates, and geopolitical developments. Consumers are advised to stay updated and plan their fuel consumption accordingly.
The government has urged citizens and businesses to adopt energy-saving measures and optimize logistics to manage the impact of these price adjustments more effectively.
