Why Petrol Prices Increased This Month
According to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), the rise in petrol and diesel prices is mainly due to:
- Increase in global crude oil prices over the past fortnight.
- Pakistani Rupee depreciation against the U.S. Dollar.
- Higher petroleum levies and taxes to meet IMF revenue targets.
- Distribution and transportation costs across provinces.
Previous Petrol Price in Pakistan (September 2025)
| Month | Petrol Price | Diesel Price |
|---|---|---|
| September 2025 | Rs. 264.61 | Rs. 272.77 |
| August 2025 | Rs. 259.35 | Rs. 267.10 |
| July 2025 | Rs. 255.90 | Rs. 262.00 |
As seen above, the petrol rate in Pakistan has been on a steady upward trend throughout 2025 due to rising crude oil costs and a weaker rupee.
Petrol Prices in Major Cities of Pakistan

Who Decides Petrol Prices in Pakistan?
Petrol and diesel prices are determined by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). Every 15 days, OGRA submits price recommendations to the Finance Division, which finalizes and announces the new rates after reviewing:
- International crude prices
- Exchange rate of Pakistani Rupee (PKR)
- Freight and dealer margins
- Taxes and levies imposed by the government
Impact of Petrol Price on Economy and Daily Life
An increase in fuel prices directly impacts inflation and living costs in Pakistan:
- Transport fares rise, affecting commuters.
- Food and goods prices increase due to higher logistics costs.
- Industrial production costs go up, reducing profitability.
- Electricity tariffs may rise due to expensive fuel imports.
Economists warn that consistent hikes in petrol and diesel prices can further burden the middle-class and low-income households.
Future Outlook for Petrol Prices in Pakistan
Market analysts expect global oil prices to remain volatile due to geopolitical tensions and supply constraints.
If the Pakistani Rupee stabilizes and global oil prices ease, we may see a slight reduction in the next price review (mid-October 2025).
However, if international crude continues to rise, another upward revision is likely.
