October 14, 2025
ISLAMABAD: Petrol prices in Pakistan are expected to decrease this week, starting October 16, 2025, according to official sources familiar with the matter.
As per initial estimates, the price of petrol is likely to be reduced by Rs. 6.10 per litre, while high-speed diesel (HSD) may see a slight decrease of Rs. 0.97 per litre.
Similarly, the price of kerosene oil is expected to fall by Rs. 2.75 per litre, and light diesel oil (LDO) could become cheaper by around Rs. 1.64 per litre.
OGRA Submits Summary for Price Revision
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has completed its assessment based on international oil price trends and exchange rate movements. The summary has been forwarded to the Petroleum Division, which will then send it to the Ministry of Finance for review.
Following consultations with the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Finance is expected to announce the final decision on petroleum prices tomorrow (October 15, 2025).
Global Market Influence
The expected price revision comes amid a slight decline in global crude oil prices, which has provided room for local adjustments. The government has been monitoring the international market to ensure that domestic fuel prices remain stable and reflective of global trends.
Summary of Expected Price Changes
| Product | Expected Change (Rs./Litre) |
|---|---|
| Petrol | ↓ 6.10 |
| High-Speed Diesel | ↓ 0.97 |
| Kerosene Oil | ↓ 2.75 |
| Light Diesel Oil | ↓ 1.64 |
Public Impact
A decrease in petroleum prices is expected to provide some relief to consumers and the transport sector, potentially reducing overall inflationary pressure. However, the final decision will depend on the government’s review of market and tax-related factors.
