Why Petrol Prices Are Rising in October 2025

The primary reason behind the price hike is the global rally in crude oil markets. Rising international demand, supply chain disruptions, and currency fluctuations have all contributed to increased import costs for Pakistan.

As the government follows a monthly price adjustment mechanism, these global shifts are passed on to consumers in the form of higher fuel rates.

Impact on Households and Businesses

The new increase will further burden citizens already struggling with high living costs. Some expected impacts include:

• Transport Costs: Commuters and logistics businesses will see higher expenses.

• Food and Goods Prices: Increased transport charges are likely to raise the prices of essential commodities.

• Inflationary Pressure: The cost of living will rise further, particularly for low- and middle-income families.

Experts warn that this adjustment may fuel another wave of inflation, adding to the challenges faced by households across Pakistan.

Final Words

From October 1, 2025, petrol is projected to cost Rs. 266.58 per liter, while diesel will reach Rs. 275.25 per liter, with similar increases for kerosene and light diesel oil.

The revision is tied to international crude oil trends and is expected to remain in place for the first half of October unless global markets stabilize. Citizens are advised to plan their fuel expenses accordingly.
