Govt to Increase Petrol Prices in Pakistan from November 1, 2025 – Latest OGRA Update
Islamabad (News Desk) – The federal government is expected to raise petrol prices in Pakistan this week, starting November 1, 2025, due to rising international oil rates and the impact of US sanctions on Russian oil exporters.
According to initial estimates, petrol prices may go up by Rs. 1.48 per litre, while high-speed diesel (HSD) could see an increase of Rs. 1.38 per litre. The sharpest hike is projected in kerosene oil, which may rise by Rs. 2.34 per litre, and light diesel oil (LDO) could inch up by Rs. 0.49 per litre.
If approved, the new consumer prices from November 1 are expected to be:
| Petroleum Product | Expected New Price (Rs./Litre) | Expected Change (Rs.) |
| Petrol | 264.50 | +1.48 |
| High-Speed Diesel | 276.80 | +1.38 |
| Kerosene Oil | 184.05 | +2.34 |
| Light Diesel Oil | 163.25 | +0.49 |
Final Announcement Expected on October 31
The final price adjustment will be announced on the evening of October 31, after reviewing the complete import cost, exchange rate impact, and international oil trends. The revised prices will be effective from November 1, 2025, for the next fortnightly cycle.
Officials from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) confirmed that the increase is a result of global market changes rather than domestic policy decisions. The government has reportedly kept petroleum levy rates unchanged to minimize the burden on consumers.

Global Oil Volatility and Local Impact
The recent volatility in the global oil market, combined with exchange rate fluctuations, has driven up import costs for Pakistan. Sanctions on major Russian oil companies have further tightened global supply, leading to price instability across Asian markets.
Experts warn that any increase in fuel prices may trigger a ripple effect on transportation, logistics, and inflation, especially affecting essential commodities and electricity generation costs.
Citizens Brace for Higher Fuel Costs
Petrol pump owners have started preparing for the possible price revision, while citizens express concern about the continuous rise in fuel costs. Transport associations have hinted at possible fare adjustments if the government confirms the hike.
Economic analysts believe that while the increase is relatively small this time, consistent upward trends could push inflation higher in November, making it harder for low-income households to cope with daily expenses.
Conclusion
The government’s final decision on petrol and diesel prices will be made public on October 31, 2025. If the proposed rates are approved, consumers should prepare for slightly higher fuel prices across Pakistan from November 1. The adjustments come amid global oil market instability and continued economic pressure on the country’s import bill.
