Petrol Prices in Pakistan Expected to Decrease
Good news for motorists and transporters—petrol prices in Pakistan are likely to decrease from August 1, 2025, according to a report by Arif Habib Limited (AHL). With global crude oil prices falling, the government may cut petrol and diesel rates, providing much-needed relief amid rising living costs.
Expected Fuel Price Reductions
The report estimates a reduction of Rs6.82 per liter for petrol (Motor Spirit) and Rs1.68 per liter for High-Speed Diesel (HSD). If approved, the new petrol price could drop to around Rs265.33 per liter, while diesel may be priced at Rs282.67 per liter.
This decline in petrol prices in Pakistan will positively impact commuters, transport businesses, and the overall economy by lowering transportation costs and easing inflationary pressure.
Reasons Behind the Price Drop
The main reason behind this possible fuel price cut is the drop in global oil prices. Between July 16 and July 31, 2025, Brent crude averaged $68.75 per barrel, and WTI crude hovered around $65.98 per barrel. Additionally, the exchange rate remained stable at around Rs284.25 per US dollar, keeping import costs manageable.
These combined factors have created room for a price revision in the local market.
Government’s Petroleum Levy Impact
Despite the expected drop, the government is planning to add a petroleum levy of Rs2.50 per liter on both petrol and diesel. This might slightly reduce the benefit to consumers, but overall, the fuel price is still expected to go down.
Even with the levy adjustment, a decline in petrol prices in Pakistan will still offer relief to millions who are burdened by high inflation.
Public Reaction and Anticipation
Consumers across Pakistan are hopeful that the government will approve the recommended price cuts. For many, even a small drop in petrol prices in Pakistan is significant, especially for daily commuters, delivery services, and small businesses.
The official price announcement is expected by July 31, 2025, and will confirm whether the projected rates will take effect from August 1.
Final Thoughts
The potential reduction in petrol prices in Pakistan signals a positive turn for citizens struggling with inflation. If global oil prices continue to remain low and the rupee remains stable, further price drops could follow in the coming months.
