Breaking: Petrol Price Drop Expected in Pakistan from September 1 – Here’s What You’ll Pay

Great news for vehicle owners in Pakistan! Petrol and diesel prices are expected to come down starting from September 1, 2025.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has sent new calculations to the government. These suggest that petrol might become cheaper by a few paisas, while diesel could see a bigger drop.

If approved, these new fuel prices will bring a small relief to many people who are already facing high inflation.

Expected Fuel Price Reductions

Here are the possible changes being discussed:

Fuel Type	Expected Price Drop
Petrol (Super)	↓ 0.61 PKR per litre
High-Speed Diesel	↓ 3.13 PKR per litre
Kerosene Oil	↓ 1.57 PKR per litre
Light Diesel Oil	↓ 2.61 PKR per litre

⚠️ Note: These are early estimates. Final prices will be announced by the government on August 31, 2025.

Last Fuel Price Update (August 16, 2025)

Fuel Type	Old Price (PKR)	Expected New Price (PKR)	Change
Petrol (Super)	264.61	264.00	↓ 0.61
High-Speed Diesel	272.99	269.86	↓ 3.13
Kerosene Oil	178.27	176.70	↓ 1.57
Light Diesel Oil	162.37	159.76	↓ 2.61

Why Prices Are Still High?

Even though global oil prices have gone down, the government continues to charge:

• Petroleum levy (Rs78+ per litre)
• Dealers’ margin
• Distributors’ margin
• Freight charges

Also, there is no sales tax, but the extra charges keep overall fuel prices higher.

What This Means for You

If prices go down:

• Transport costs may become cheaper
• Goods delivery could be more affordable
• Everyday expenses might slightly improve

However, if international oil prices rise again, these reductions could be short-lived.

What’s Next?

The final petrol and diesel prices will be officially announced by the Ministry of Finance on August 31, 2025.

If approved, the new rates will take effect from September 1, 2025 (midnight).
