The government of Pakistan on Sunday announced a hike in the petrol price by up to Rs4.80 per litre in line with the recommendations of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
On the other hand, the price for high-speed diesel was also increased by Rs7.95 per litre, raising it to Rs258.43 from Rs253.63 per litre.
"The government has decided the following prices of petroleum products for the fortnight starting tomorrow,based on the recommendations of OGRA & the relevant ministries," the notification issued by the Ministry of Finance read.
It is worth noting that the new petrol price will take effect from June 16, 2025 till June 30, 2025.
| Products | Existing price w.e.f 01.06.2024 | New price w.e.f 16.06.2024 | Increase/Decrease |
High-Speed Diesel (HSD) | 254.64 | 262.69 | +7.95 |
MS (Petrol) | 253.63 | 258.43 | +4.80 |
In the previous fortnight, the Pakistan government raised the petrol price by Rs1 amid largely stable global oil markets.
Notably, petrol is primarily used in private transportation, small vehicles, rickshaws, and two-wheelers. Increasing prices will significantly impact the budgets of middle- and lower-middle-class households.
In addition, the hiked cost of high-speed diesel directly contributes to the rising prices of vegetables and other essential food items.
