ISLAMABAD: The federal government announced an increase in the prices of petroleum products, effective immediately for the first half of November 2025. The decision, driven by fluctuations in the global oil market and exchange rate pressure, marks an upward adjustment in the biweekly review.
Rates effective from November 1, 2025 (PKR per Litre)
| Product | Previous Price (PKR) | New Price (PKR) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super Petrol (MS) | 263.02 | 265.45 | +2.43 PKR |

| Light Diesel Oil (LDO) | 162.76 | 163.98 | +1.22 PKR |
Key Takeaways
- Petrol Price Rise: The price of petrol (MS) has been raised by Rs 2.43 per litre, setting the new rate at Rs 265.45 per litre.
- Diesel Price Rise: High-Speed Diesel (HSD), largely used in the transport and agriculture sectors, saw a steeper hike of Rs 3.02 per litre, bringing the new price to Rs 278.44 per litre.
- Reason for Increase: According to the Ministry of Finance, the revised prices are based on recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and reflect the recent movement of international crude oil prices and the value of the Pakistani Rupee against the US dollar.
- Impact: The increase in HSD is particularly significant as it is often a key driver of inflation, potentially leading to higher transportation costs and an uptick in the prices of essential commodities.
The government maintains that the fortnightly price adjustments are necessary to align domestic prices with international trends and manage the financial impact of imported fuel.
