Karachi, November 14, 2025 – Pakistani citizens are expecting a reduction in petrol prices for the second half of November, effective November 16, 2025.
The government will review petroleum product prices on November 15, with petrol likely to see a marginal decrease of Rs1.96 per litre, bringing the new rate to Rs263.49 per litre from the current Rs265.45, marking a 0.7 percent drop.
Industry sources, however, have indicated that other petroleum products may experience price increases due to regional diesel supply constraints. Pakistan, which imports most of its diesel from Kuwait, is facing disruptions after maintenance work at one of Kuwait’s refineries was extended by 15 days. Additionally, production at Kuwait’s Al-Zour refinery—one of the largest in the region—is operating partially, with only two of three units running at full capacity.
The lower output of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) has pushed up international prices, impacting Pakistan’s import costs. Based on 13 days of price data, HSD is projected to rise by Rs9.60 per litre, reaching Rs288.04, up from Rs278.44, a 3.4 percent increase. Final rates may still fluctuate as two days of global trading data remain pending.
Other petroleum products are also expected to see changes: kerosene may increase by Rs8.82 per litre to Rs193.87 (4.8% rise), while Light Diesel Oil (LDO) could climb Rs7.15 per litre to Rs171.13 (4.4% rise).
The Ministry of Finance, after receiving recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), will announce the final rates. The revised petroleum prices will take effect from midnight, November 15, 2025.
