- Diesel price increased by Rs2.78 per liter to Rs272.77, petrol steady at Rs264.61
- Changes follow regulator’s recommendations, diesel hike likely to hit transport, farm costs
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday increased the price of high-speed diesel by Rs2.78 per liter while keeping petrol unchanged, the Finance Division said, revising petroleum rates for the second half of September.
The new rate for diesel stands at Rs272.77 per liter, up from Rs269.99, while petrol remains steady at Rs264.61.
“The Government has revised the prices of petroleum products for the fortnight commencing September 15, 2025, based on the recommendations of Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and the relevant Ministries,” the Finance Division said in a statement.
Diesel is widely used in agriculture and transport, meaning changes in its price can directly impact inflation and the cost of goods across the country.
The government adjusts local fuel prices every two weeks in line with fluctuations in global oil markets and exchange rate movements.
Officials say the system is designed to pass on international price changes to domestic consumers in a transparent manner.
