Fuel Prices in Pakistan Decreased by Up to Rs. 5.31/Liter
The Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced revised petroleum prices in Pakistan, effective from March 1, 2025. The price adjustments reflect fluctuations in the international oil market, ensuring regulated pricing for consumers. Below is the updated pricing structure for major petroleum products:
Revised Fuel Prices – March 2025
- High-Speed Diesel (HSD) saw a notable reduction of Rs. 5.31 per liter, bringing relief to the transport and agricultural sectors, where diesel consumption is high.
- MS Petrol witnessed a marginal decrease of Rs. 0.50 per liter, slightly lowering costs for everyday commuters and private vehicle owners.
- Superior Kerosene Oil experienced a price cut of Rs. 3.53 per liter, benefiting households and small industries reliant on it for heating and lighting.
- Light Diesel Oil (LDO) dropped by Rs. 2.47 per liter, offering minor relief to industrial users and those relying on low-cost diesel alternatives.
Impact on the Market and Consumers
- Public Transport & Goods Carriers: The HSD price drop may contribute to lower transportation costs, possibly stabilizing freight and passenger fares.
- Private Vehicle Owners: The minor decrease in petrol prices is unlikely to make a significant difference in daily commuting expenses.
- Agriculture & Industry: Diesel-dependent machinery and industries may benefit from reduced operational costs, indirectly affecting agricultural and manufacturing costs.
