ISLAMABAD:\u00a0The government has announced new petrol prices<\/a> in Pakistan. The new petrol prices will come into effect from 25 April 2026.<\/p>\n

The government has increased the price of petrol and diesel by 26 rupees each.<\/p>\n

Following the increase, the price of HSD has jumped from Rs353.42 to Rs380.19, while the petrol price now stands at Rs393.35.<\/p>\n

In the previous weekly review, the prime minister announced a reduction of Rs32.12 per litre in the price of high-speed diesel, while the petrol price remained unchanged.<\/p>\n

The government jacked up petrol and diesel prices despite oil prices falling globally on Friday after it appeared a second round of Middle East talks was back on, bolstering prospects for an end to a war that has crippled energy shipments from the Gulf.<\/p>\n

Oil prices had been climbing earlier as investors worried about a lack of progress in ending the Middle East crisis, with Tehran keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed and the US maintaining a blockade of Iranian ports.<\/p>\n

But they dropped on reports that Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was to arrive in Islamabad on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Brent crude, the international benchmark contract, fell back below $100 a barrel.<\/p>\n
