Why Do Petrol and Diesel Prices Change in Pakistan?

Fuel prices in Pakistan are influenced by a specific formula that includes several key factors:

  • International Crude Oil Prices: Prices are linked to the Arab Gulf benchmark and global Brent crude prices. A $1 increase in Brent crude results in a Rs. 1.50–2.00 hike at the pump.
  • USD to PKR Exchange Rate: As oil is traded in US dollars, a depreciating rupee raises oil import costs. Each Rs. 1 depreciation adds Rs. 0.60–0.80 per litre to fuel prices.
  • Petroleum Levy: A fixed tax of about Rs. 78 per litre is applied, comprising 28–30% of the total price. This levy has been raised under Pakistan’s IMF program.
  • Government Policy: The Federal Government sets fuel prices, primarily by accepting OGRA’s recommendations. Since the 2023 IMF agreement, the government’s ability to subsidise fuel has diminished, leading to fewer price changes at the consumer level.

Who Decides Fuel Prices in Pakistan?

Fuel pricing in Pakistan involves a structured process with three main authorities:

  • OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority): The primary regulatory body that calculates and recommends fuel prices based on factors like international crude oil prices, exchange rates, import costs, and taxes. They submit recommendations to the government bi-weekly.
  • Ministry of Finance: Reviews OGRA’s recommendations, considering government revenue targets and public impact. The Finance Minister or the Prime Minister can adjust prices by changing the petroleum levy.
  • Federal Government: Issues the final fuel price notification via the Ministry of Energy, which legally enforces the new prices at retail outlets. Prices are generally revised on the 1st and 15th of each month, although exact timing may vary.

Expected Petrol Price in Next Revision

As of mid-June 2026, the following factors will influence the next fuel price revision expected around July 1, 2026:

  • Crude Oil Trends: Global Brent crude has been trading in a relatively moderate range following earlier geopolitical disruptions. If this stability holds, further modest reductions remain possible.
  • Exchange Rate: The PKR has shown relative stability against the dollar following SBP interventions. Any significant depreciation could offset gains from falling crude prices.
  • Expected Outcome: Based on current crude prices and exchange rate movements, analysts expect the next revision to bring either a small decrease of Rs. 2–5 per litre or remain unchanged. A significant increase is unlikely unless there is a new geopolitical shock or sharp PKR depreciation.
  • Important note: These are estimates based on available market data. Official announcements are made only by OGRA and the Ministry of Energy. Always verify with official sources before making financial decisions.

Impact of Fuel Prices on Pakistan's Economy

Fuel prices significantly impact various sectors of Pakistan’s economy. 

  • Inflation: Rising fuel costs drive inflation by increasing the transportation costs of goods, affecting daily life for many households.
  • Transportation Costs: Higher diesel prices raise freight rates and public transport fares, impacting consumers, especially daily commuters.
  • Agriculture Sector: Increased diesel prices raise irrigation and transportation costs, negatively affecting food inflation and farmers’ incomes.
  • Food Prices: Fuel price hikes lead to higher costs for transport, irrigation, and logistics, resulting in increased prices for staple foods.
  • Manufacturing Industry: The high cost of fuel raises manufacturing expenses, diminishing the competitiveness of exports and increasing domestic product prices due to reliance on diesel generators amidst energy shortages.

Tips to Save Fuel in Pakistan

To reduce fuel consumption, consider these key strategies:

  • Correct Tyre Pressure: Check tyres weekly; under-inflated tyres can raise fuel consumption by up to 10%.
  • Smooth Driving: Avoid aggressive driving; smooth acceleration and braking can reduce fuel use by 20–30%.
  • Vehicle Maintenance: Keep your vehicle well-maintained to improve efficiency and save 10–15% on fuel.
  • Route Planning: Avoid peak traffic hours and use navigation apps for faster, less congested routes.
  • Minimise Idling: Turn off the engine if waiting for more than a minute to save fuel.
  • Limit Air Conditioning: Use A/C selectively, as it can increase fuel consumption by 5–25%.
  • Carpooling: Share rides to significantly reduce fuel costs and alleviate traffic congestion.

Conclusion

Fuel prices in Pakistan significantly impact households and businesses. As of June 13, 2026, petrol, diesel, and kerosene prices have decreased, providing some relief, but remain high due to imported oil reliance and market fluctuations. Pricing is influenced by crude oil prices and government policies, and future trends will depend on global conditions. Staying informed about fuel prices is crucial for managing costs effectively.
