Fuel Prices in Pakistan Likely to Increase Again? Know New Prices Here!
The fuel prices in Pakistan might rise again soon, according to local media reports. Motorists and transporters should prepare for another possible hike as the government gets ready to review fuel rates for the next 15-day cycle.
Petrol and Diesel Prices May Go Up
Based on early estimates:
Petrol may go up by Rs. 6.60 per litre
High-Speed Diesel (HSD) might increase by Rs. 5.27 per litre
This would follow the previous hike on July 1, when petrol was raised by Rs. 8.36 per litre, taking it close to Rs. 267 per litre. Diesel was also increased, impacting transport and business operations across the country.
Relief Expected in Kerosene and Light Diesel Oil
While petrol and diesel users may face higher prices, there is some hope for those who rely on other fuels:
Kerosene oil is expected to get cheaper by Rs. 3.74 per litre
Light Diesel Oil (LDO) could decrease by Rs. 2.23 per litre
This would offer minor relief to households and small industries that depend on these fuels for cooking and machinery.
Final Decision Awaited
The fuel prices in Pakistan are revised twice a month. The next round of changes is based on recent international oil price trends and exchange rate fluctuations.
A summary of the proposed price changes has been prepared and will soon be sent to the Prime Minister’s Office. Once approved by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Ministry of Finance will officially announce the new prices.
What Should Consumers Do?
Fuel consumers are advised to stay updated and plan ahead:
Fill up your tanks before the expected hike
Monitor official updates from the Ministry of Finance
Expect the new fuel prices in Pakistan to apply for 15 days after the announcement
Summary
The upcoming fuel price review may bring higher costs for petrol and diesel, but also some relief in kerosene and LDO rates. As always, the final decision rests with the government, and official prices will be announced soon.
