Islamabad: Petrol diesel prices in Pakistan are likely to increase by Rs 30 to Rs 50 per litre, according to sources familiar with the latest government discussions.
A high-level meeting was held to review the petroleum price situation due to the rising tensions in the Middle East, which have significantly affected global oil markets. The meeting was attended by the Finance Minister, Petroleum Minister, Commerce Minister, and other senior government officials.
Price Increase Expected from Midnight
Sources indicate that the proposed increase in petrol and diesel prices may be implemented from 12 midnight tonight, following the government’s final approval.
Officials reviewed international oil price trends and supply conditions during the meeting. The volatile geopolitical situation in the Middle East has pushed global crude oil prices higher, which is expected to impact local fuel prices in Pakistan.

If the increase is approved, consumers across Pakistan may face a sharp rise in transportation and fuel costs. Petrol is mainly used in motorcycles and cars, while diesel powers heavy transport, buses, and agricultural machinery.
An increase in diesel prices often leads to higher transportation costs and potential increases in the prices of essential goods, as logistics expenses rise.
Government Monitoring Situation
