Islamabad, October 15, 2025 — In a move aimed at providing economic relief to the public, the government on Wednesday reduced the petrol price by Rs5.66 per liter for the second half of October 2025. The new prices, effective from October 16, were announced by the Finance Division after approval from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and other concerned ministries.
The revision comes as part of the government’s fortnightly review of petroleum product prices, which reflects changes in international oil rates and the exchange rate impact. Officials stated that this cut in petrol prices would help stabilize domestic fuel costs and bring much-needed relief to citizens facing persistent inflation.
The Finance Division notification highlighted that adjustments were made to ensure fair market prices while maintaining fiscal balance. With transportation being one of the largest consumers of petrol, this reduction is expected to lower overall commuting costs and ease the burden on middle-income households. Additionally, reduced petroleum prices will have a ripple effect, helping decrease the cost of goods and services across various sectors.
The new prices of petroleum products (in Rs per liter) are as follows:
| Product | Old Price (Rs) | New Price (Rs) | Change (Rs) |
| High-Speed Diesel (HSD) | 276.81 | 275.41 | -1.39 |
| MS Petrol | 268.68 | 263.02 | -5.66 |
| Kerosene Oil | 184.97 | 181.71 | -3.26 |
| Light Diesel Oil (LDO) | 165.50 | 162.76 | -2.74 |
The government hopes that the continuous monitoring and timely reduction in petrol prices will contribute to curbing inflation and supporting economic stability nationwide.
