In a notable move for motorists and transport operators, the Government of Pakistan has revised fuel prices with mixed outcomes. Effective August 1, 2025, petrol prices have been reduced by Rs. 7.54 per liter, while high-speed diesel (HSD) prices have gone up by Rs. 1.48 per liter, according to an official notification from the Finance Division.
With the latest revision, the price of petrol stands at Rs. 264.61 per liter, down from Rs. 272.15. Meanwhile, high-speed diesel will now be sold at Rs. 285.83 per liter, compared to its previous rate of Rs. 284.35.
This change follows the last review on July 15, 2025, when fuel prices had surged significantly. At that time, petrol saw a Rs. 5.36 increase, while HSD recorded a steep hike of Rs. 11.37 per liter.
