In the latest press release issued by the Finance Division, the government of Pakistan has reduced the price of petrol in Pakistan, effective March 29, 2025. This decision comes in light of fluctuations in the international oil market, which impact domestic fuel pricing.
New Petrol Price in Pakistan
According to the notification, the price of MS (Petrol) has been reduced by Rs. 1.00 per liter, offering a slight relief to the public. On the other hand, the price of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) remains unchanged. The stable diesel price suggests a balancing act to maintain inflationary pressures in check, especially for sectors heavily reliant on diesel-powered transportation and logistics.
Here’s a comparison of the revised and previous prices:

What Does This Mean for Consumers?
What Does This Mean for Consumers?The marginal reduction in petrol prices, while not significant, is a welcome move amidst economic challenges. With petrol now priced at Rs. 254.63 per liter, daily commuters and private vehicle owners might see a slight reduction in their monthly fuel costs. However, the unaltered diesel price of Rs. 258.64 per liter means transportation and commercial activities are unlikely to benefit from any cost relief.
As fuel prices remain a key driver of inflation, even small changes influence the pricing of goods, commuting costs, and public transportation fares.
Final Thoughts
With the global oil market continuing to show volatility, further revisions in local fuel prices remain possible in the coming weeks. OGRA’s price calculations and the government’s pricing decisions aim to balance consumer relief and fiscal management. The petrol price in Pakistan is directly linked to the country’s inflation rate, which impacts the prices of daily commodities.
