Why Petrol Prices Changed This Revision?
Fuel prices in Pakistan are reviewed every 15 days. As a result, today’s petrol price changed (or remained steady) due to multiple factors.
First, international crude oil prices and refining margins influence base costs. Second, the Pakistani rupee’s exchange rate against the US dollar changes import costs. Third, adjustments in petroleum levy, GST, and freight margins also play a role.
In this revision, petrol remained unchanged at Rs. 264.61, while diesel and other fuels saw adjustments. The government may also adjust taxes/levies to balance fiscal needs and consumer burden.
Impact of Petrol Price on Consumers
The revised fuel rates directly affect everyday costs. Transport fares in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad may rise. Moreover, higher petrol and diesel costs lead to increased prices of goods, since transportation is a major component in supply chains.
On the other hand, if global oil prices fall or the rupee strengthens, future revisions may offer relief. But for now, the pressure remains on consumers and small businesses.
Government’s Position
The Ministry of Finance and OGRA argue that the revision reflects global oil market dynamics and currency fluctuations. OGRA will publish the next update in the next fortnight as per schedule.
The government has also hinted at offering subsidies or reliefs in select sectors—especially for transportation or agriculture—to mitigate impact.

Conclusion
In short, petrol continues at **Rs. 264.61/liter**, while other fuels like HSD, LDO, and SKO have been revised. These changes reflect global trends, taxation, and exchange rate pressures. The next OGRA review will decide whether prices fall or continue rising.
