Petrol heads, budget planners, and road warriors — it’s that time again. The Government of Pakistan has announced the latest petroleum prices, and while there’s no change in petrol rates, there’s some (slightly) good news for diesel users. The Finance Division dropped the official numbers on May 16, 2025, and here’s what’s in store for your next fuel stop.
New Petrol Prices in Pakistan
What It Means?
Let’s be blunt — if you were hoping for a fuel price drop to match your Eid shopping spree, you’re out of luck (at least for petrol). The price for MS (petrol) remains unchanged at Rs. 252.63 per liter. That means your daily drives, road trips, and ride-hailing budgets are staying exactly where they were last week.
But for those using High Speed Diesel — think commercial transporters, long-haul truckers, and heavy-duty drivers — there’s a modest Rs. 2.00 per liter decrease. It’s not groundbreaking, but in a high-inflation economy, every rupee counts.
Why The Change?
These price adjustments follow OGRA’s (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) recommendations and input from relevant ministries. The government is monitoring international oil prices and currency exchange rates, both of which are critical factors in these bi-weekly fuel adjustments.
The Bottom Line
The diesel dip is a small relief, especially for the logistics sector, but the unchanged petrol price will disappoint the average commuter. With global oil markets in flux and the rupee still under pressure, don’t expect major fuel price cuts unless something big changes internationally.
So, for now, fill smart, drive efficiently, and keep an eye on your tire pressure. Every drop counts.
