Fuel Prices in Pakistan Change This Weekend

Fuel prices in Pakistan update every 15 days. The next shift hits Sunday, November 16. Diesel takes the biggest hit. Petrol gets a small cut. Here’s the full breakdown on petrol price in Pakistan and diesel price in Pakistan.

Diesel Price in Pakistan Jumps Most

High-speed diesel price in Pakistan sits at Rs278.80 per litre right now. Market estimates put the new diesel price in Pakistan at Rs288.40. That’s a Rs9.60 increase.

Truck drivers who haul goods from Karachi to Lahore will pay Rs4,800 extra for a 500-litre fill-up. Farmers running tube wells on diesel face higher irrigation costs just before wheat planting season.

Kerosene price in Pakistan climbs Rs8.82 to Rs197 per litre. Low-income homes in rural Punjab and Sindh still use kerosene stoves. A 15-litre cylinder now costs Rs132 more per refill.

Light diesel oil price in Pakistan rises Rs7.15 to Rs173. Brick kilns and small textile units in Faisalabad run on LDO. Their monthly fuel bill jumps Rs7,000–10,000.

Petrol Price in Pakistan Falls a Bit

Current petrol price in Pakistan is Rs265.45 per litre. The expected new petrol price in Pakistan lands at Rs263.49. You save Rs1.96 per litre.

A 40-litre tank on a Honda City or Toyota Corolla saves Rs78. Motorcycle users filling 8 litres save Rs16 per trip. Bike sales in Lahore and Rawalpindi already picked up after the last petrol drop.

How Fuel Prices in Pakistan Update

OGRA collects data from Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and global benchmarks like Arab Gulf Platts. They calculate the 15-day average, add inland freight, dealer margin, and fixed taxes.

The summary reaches the Finance Ministry by Saturday afternoon. Prime Minister’s office gives final nod if GST or petroleum levy needs tweaking. New fuel prices in Pakistan take effect at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. Pumps update signboards by 6 a.m.

Why Fuel Prices in Pakistan Move

Arab Light crude averaged $78 per barrel this fortnight—up $3 from last period. PSO’s import bill rose accordingly. The rupee closed at 278.50 against the dollar, almost unchanged.

Petroleum levy stays at Rs60 per litre on both fuels. GST is zero. That’s why diesel price in Pakistan rises more—its base import cost is higher.

Fill Up Early or Wait?

Diesel users: fill today or tomorrow. Pumps in Lahore already show long queues at PSO and Shell stations on GT Road.

Petrol users: wait until Sunday. Attock and Total pumps in Islamabad plan to drop prices by 8 a.m.
