ISLAMABAD: Petrol and diesel prices have stayed high in Pakistan due to post-budget taxes and global market instability. However, some relief may be on the horizon starting August 1, 2025.
Currently, petrol is priced at Rs272 per litre, but sources familiar with the matter say a decrease is expected in the upcoming fortnight. The PML-N-led coalition government is reportedly considering a reduction of Rs5 to Rs6 per litre in petrol and diesel prices—offering much-needed relief to consumers already burdened by inflation.
August Petrol Price Update:
| Fuel Type | — | Price | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Current | 272.15 | – |
| Expected (Cut Rs6-7) | 266.15 | -6.00 | |
| Diesel | Current | 284.35 | – |
| Expected (Cut Rs1-2) | 283.00 | -1.35 (approx.) |
Diesel may also see a modest reduction of Rs1 to Rs2 per litre. At present, diesel is priced at Rs284.35, and the new rate could be around Rs283.00, reflecting an approximate cut of Rs1.35.
With inflation squeezing household budgets and public pressure growing, this potential reduction comes as a small but welcome relief for consumers across the country.
