Petrol Prices Expected to Rise in Pakistan from September 1, 2025
The government of Pakistan is expected to announce a new petrol price hike starting September 1, 2025. According to initial reports, petrol may rise by Rs. 7 to Rs. 12 per litre, impacting household budgets and transport costs across the country.
پاکستان میں پیٹرول کی قیمتوں میں یکم ستمبر 2025 سے 7 سے 12 روپے فی لٹر اضافے کا امکان ظاہر کیا جا رہا ہے۔ یہ اضافہ عام عوام، کاروباری افراد اور ٹرانسپورٹ سیکٹر پر براہِ راست اثر انداز ہوگا۔
Why Petrol Prices Are Rising in September 2025
The expected increase is linked to international oil market fluctuations, rising global crude prices, and the depreciation of the Pakistani rupee. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) is preparing a summary for the new rates, which will be approved by the Finance Ministry before implementation.
Expected Petrol Price Increase
The following table highlights the likely changes:
| Fuel Type | Current Price (Rs./Litre) | Expected Increase (Rs.) | New Price (Approx.) (Rs./Litre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 293 | 7 – 12 | 300 – 305 |
| High-Speed Diesel | 290 | 7 – 10 | 297 – 300 |
| Kerosene Oil | 210 | 5 – 8 | 215 – 218 |
| Light Diesel Oil | 205 | 5 – 7 | 210 – 212 |
Impact on Public
The September petrol price hike will increase transport fares, production costs, and inflation. Daily commuters, farmers, and small business owners are expected to be most affected by this adjustment.
Government’s Next Move
Officials may explore subsidies or relief packages to cushion the effect, but confirmation will only come after the final notification.
