The Government of Pakistan is preparing to announce new petrol prices from October 1, 2025, and reports suggest that a major increase is expected. This decision will directly affect the cost of petrol and diesel, putting further pressure on consumers already struggling with inflation.
Expected Petrol & Diesel Price Hike
According to official sources, global oil market trends are pushing prices higher, and Pakistan is likely to adjust its domestic rates accordingly. Petrol may see an increase of Rs. 1.97 per liter, while high-speed diesel (HSD) could go up by Rs. 2.48 per liter.
Here’s the comparison of current and expected rates:
| Product | Current Price (Rs/Litre) | Expected Price (Rs/Litre) | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 264.61 | 266.58 | +1.97 |
| Diesel | 272.77 | 275.25 | +2.48 |
Why Petrol Prices Are Rising?
The main reason behind this hike is the recent surge in international crude oil prices. Pakistan, being an oil-importing country, has to adjust its domestic rates in line with global trends. Additionally, the depreciation of the local currency has also contributed to rising fuel costs.
Officials noted that these adjustments are crucial for maintaining petroleum supply across the country, but they will inevitably increase transport costs and household expenses.
Impact on Citizens and Economy
If approved, the new petrol prices will:
-
Increase transport fares across major cities.
-
Raise food and daily essential costs due to higher logistics charges.
-
Put additional pressure on low- and middle-income families.
Economists have warned that continuous hikes in petrol and diesel may slow down business activity, making it harder for industries and ordinary citizens to cope with already rising electricity bills and inflation.
Conclusion
The final decision on Petrol Prices in Pakistan for October 2025 is expected to be announced soon by the government. If implemented, this increase will further burden the public but is seen as unavoidable due to international market pressures.
Citizens are advised to stay updated as the official notification could come any time before the start of the new month.
