ISLAMABAD: A blow to inflation-weary Pakistanis as petrol prices are expected to increase from September 16, 2025, amid changes in global oil prices.
According to media reports, the price of petrol is likely to increase by Rs 1.54 per liter, taking the new price to Rs 266.15 per liter. The price of high-speed diesel, which is used in the transport and agriculture sectors, could increase by Rs 4.79 per liter from Rs 274.78 per liter.
| Fuel Type | Current Price | Expected Increase | New Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 264.61 | 1.54 | 266.15 |
| High-Speed Diesel | 269.99 | 4.79 | 274.78 |
Other fuels won’t be spared either: kerosene oil may rise by Rs3.06 per liter to Rs179.87, while light diesel oil, crucial for industrial machinery, is likely to jump Rs3.68 per liter, reaching Rs163.44.
Those familiar with this development say the surge shows global oil market crisis, where supply disruptions and diplomatic tensions continue to drive prices upward. With the floods already straining the economy, this latest hike is expected to hit both households and businesses hard.
The hike comes amid escalating global geopolitical tensions and soaring international oil prices, adding to the woes of a country still reeling from devastating floods.
