ISLAMABAD: Prices of petroleum products in Pakistan are expected to rise slightly from November 1, 2025, mainly due to fluctuations in the international oil market and the effects of new U.S. sanctions on Russia’s leading oil producers.
According to preliminary calculations covering the first 12 days of the current pricing cycle, petrol may see an increase of Rs1.48 per litre, while high-speed diesel (HSD) could rise by Rs1.38 per litre. The price of kerosene oil is expected to record a sharper hike of Rs2.34 per litre, and light diesel oil (LDO) may go up marginally by Re0.49 per litre.
If current market trends persist, the new expected consumer prices from November 1 are projected to be:
- Petrol: Rs264.50 per litre
- High-Speed Diesel: Rs276.80 per litre
- Kerosene Oil: Rs184.05 per litre
- Light Diesel Oil: Rs163.25 per litre
Officials said the final decision on prices will be made on October 31 evening, after reviewing the complete fortnightly data on international oil imports and exchange rate fluctuations.
The government revises fuel prices twice a month in line with changes in international crude oil rates and currency exchange movements. Analysts say the latest hike, though modest, could still add pressure on transportation and manufacturing costs, potentially affecting overall inflation levels in the coming weeks.
