The Government of Pakistan has announced a fresh revision in petroleum prices, effective from 1 October 2025. According to the official notification, both petrol and diesel have become more expensive, directly impacting transport costs and household budgets across the country.
Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices – October 2025
As per the latest government update:
| Product | Old Price (Rs/Litre) | Increase (Rs) | New Price (Rs/Litre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | 264.61 | +4.07 | 268.68 |

These revised rates will remain in place for the first 15 days of October 2025, after which the government will review prices again based on global crude oil trends and currency fluctuations.
Why Fuel Prices Increased
Economic analysts point to several factors behind the increase in petroleum prices:
-
Global Oil Rally – International crude oil prices have seen a steady rise.
-
Rupee Depreciation – The weaker exchange rate against the US dollar has added pressure.
-
Import Costs – Pakistan’s reliance on imported petroleum means global fluctuations directly impact local prices.
-
Inflationary Pressures – Rising fuel costs contribute to higher transportation and goods prices nationwide.
Impact on Consumers
-
Transport Sector – Public transport fares and goods transport charges are expected to rise.
-
Daily Essentials – Higher fuel costs often lead to increased prices of food and commodities.
-
Household Budgets – Low- and middle-income families will feel the strain of higher commuting and living expenses.
Government’s Position
Officials have emphasized that petroleum prices are adjusted every fortnight in line with international market trends and to ensure stability in the domestic market. They also stated that further revisions may occur if crude oil prices or the rupee-dollar exchange rate fluctuates significantly in the coming weeks.
Conclusion
The petrol price in Pakistan for October 2025 is now Rs. 268.68 per litre, while diesel costs Rs. 276.81 per litre. This Rs. 4 per litre increase may look modest, but it is expected to push transport fares and inflation higher, adding more pressure to already stretched household incomes.
Citizens are advised to plan travel and expenses accordingly as the government reviews petroleum prices again in mid-October.
