ISLAMABAD: Petroleum prices in Pakistan are set to rise for the next two weeks from September 16, 2025, following a surge in global oil markets amid renewed geopolitical tensions.

Petrol prices are likely to rise by Rs. 1.54 per litre to Rs. 266.15, up 0.6% from the current Rs. 264.61. High-speed diesel, widely used in transport and agriculture, is likely to rise by Rs. 4.79 per litre to Rs. 274.78, a jump of 1.8%.

Kerosene prices are likely to rise by Rs. 3.06 per litre to Rs. 179.87, while light diesel oil is likely to increase by Rs. 3.68 to Rs. 163.44, a 2.3% increase.

On September 1, the government reduced diesel prices by Rs. 2.50 per litre to Rs. 3 per litre, but petrol remained unchanged.

The latest adjustment reflects rising crude oil prices after Ukrainian drone strikes disrupted exports from Russia’s Primorsk port, a key hub on the Baltic Sea.
