Petrol Prices today in Pakistan drop by Rs7.54/litre to Rs264.61. Diesel rises slightly; LPG sees major cut. Relief for commuters and households.
As a major step in bringing relief to the masses, the Government of Pakistan has issued a cut in petrol prices by Rs7.54 per liter, from August 1, 2025. Petrol will now be available at Rs 264.61 per liter, down from the earlier price of Rs 272.15.
This is against the backdrop of a mild decline in international crude oil prices and suggestions by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), which had proposed revisions dependent upon overseas market trends and exchange rates.
Mixed Adjustments Within Fuel Types
Petrol consumers will benefit from the price reduction, whereas high-speed diesel has been increased by a marginal amount of Rs1.48 per liter to Rs285.83. Diesel is used extensively in transport and agriculture and can have an impact on food and logistics costs.

In contrast, the rates of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have decreased significantly by Rs17.74 per kg, and the price of an 11.8 kg cylinder has dropped by more than Rs209, providing much-needed relief for families who rely on gas for cooking and heating.
Economic Implications and Public Response
The mixed fuel price changes are the government’s effort to balance relief for consumers with the realities of the fiscal situation. The reduction in petrol prices is likely to bring down commuting expenses for millions, particularly for metropolitan dwellers, while lower-income groups will gain from the LPG reduction. The diesel increase, however, might balance out some of these gains by raising transport and farm input costs.
The public response has been positively wary, with most embracing the petrol and LPG reprieve but worrying about the diesel hike. The new prices will continue until the next review on August 16, 2025.
