⛽ Pakistan Petrol Prices: Hike Expected in July 2025
Motorists in Pakistan should prepare for a potential rise in fuel costs. The latest analysis indicates that Pakistan Petrol Prices are likely to go up starting July 1, driven by a recent surge in international oil rates.
🌍 Global Oil Surge Sparks Local Impact
According to a new report by Arif Habib Limited (AHL), global diesel prices jumped by over 10% in the second half of June, while petrol climbed nearly 6%.
This trend follows tensions between Israel and Iran that spiked crude oil benchmarks worldwide — WTI rose by 5.2%, Brent crude by 6.9%, and Arab Light by 7%.
Although a ceasefire on June 24 helped ease prices slightly — with diesel dipping 0.6% and petrol falling 6.6% — the average for June still pushes local fuel prices upward.
💸 Expected Petrol & Diesel Hike
If current trends hold, the estimated new prices could be:
Diesel: Up by Rs. 18.06 to Rs. 280.65 per litre
Petrol: Up by Rs. 13.86 to Rs. 272.29 per litre
However, the government is likely to soften the blow by adjusting the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL), which may limit the increase to:
Around Rs. 4.5 per litre for diesel
Around Rs. 8 per litre for petrol
🌦️ Possible Relief After Mid-July
There is hope for motorists later in the month. If the current downward trend in global oil markets continues, fuel prices could drop again after the next review on July 15. Projections suggest:
A decrease of Rs. 13.47 per litre for diesel
A cut of Rs. 5.89 per litre for petrol
🗓️ What’s Next for Pakistan Petrol Prices?
For now, Pakistan Petrol Prices remain closely tied to the global oil market’s volatile shifts. Drivers are advised to stay updated, budget accordingly, and watch for official announcements closer to the start of July.
Stay tuned for more updates on fuel prices, government policy changes, and energy sector news.
