ISLAMABAD – 16 October 2025:
The federal government has announced a reduction in petrol prices by Rs5.66 per litre, bringing the new rate down to Rs263.03 per litre, effective from midnight tonight.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, the price adjustment follows a decline in international oil prices and the recent appreciation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar.
The price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has also been reduced by Rs4.32 per litre, now standing at Rs270.10 per litre, offering some relief to transporters and consumers amid persistent inflationary pressures.
Economic analysts say the downward revision could help ease the cost of transportation and goods, although they note that the impact on overall inflation will depend on stability in global markets and the exchange rate.
The new prices will remain in effect for the next 15 days, after which the government will review rates based on international market trends.
