Pakistan may see another shift in fuel prices from November 16, 2025, with diesel expected to become significantly more expensive while petrol may see a slight reduction.
The changes are based on global market trends and preliminary calculations shared by the oil industry.
According to the latest projections, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) could increase by Rs9.60 per litre, taking it to Rs288.04, reflecting a 3.4% rise.
Diesel is widely used in transportation and agriculture, so a price hike is expected to directly affect the cost of goods and farming operations.
In contrast, petrolmay see a small relief. Its ex-depot price is projected to fall by Rs1.96 per litre, bringing it down to Rs263.49, a 0.7% decrease.
Petrol remains the most commonly used fuel in motorbikes and private vehicles, and it also serves as an alternative to CNG in Punjab.
Other petroleum products are also expected to become costlier.
The price of kerosene oil may rise by Rs8.82 per litre to Rs193.87, while light diesel oil (LDO) could go up by Rs7.15, reaching Rs171.13 per litre.
Kerosene oil is especially important in remote and northern regions where LPG is difficult to access for cooking and heating.
Industry officials say the new pricing estimates include international premiums which inlcudes $5.10 per barrel on petrol and $3.20 per barrel on diesel.
Taxes remain a major component of fuel prices, with consumers currently paying Rs80.52 per litre on petrol and Rs79.51 per litre on diesel in petroleum levy and carbon tax.
Government authorities are expected to confirm the revised fuel prices soon.
