Here are the latest petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan for Tuesday, January 28, 2025. Consumers are advised to stay updated on the current petroleum prices before refueling their motor vehicles.
The updated prices of petroleum products are as follows: High-Speed Diesel (HSD) is now priced at Rs 260.95 per liter, while petrol costs Rs 256.13 per liter. It is important to note that prices may vary slightly across fuel stations due to differences in petrol pump margins.
Petroleum prices significantly impact the daily lives of the public, as they have a direct influence on the cost of essential goods and services. Petrol, being a key fuel for motorcyclists and motor vehicle owners, plays a vital role in their daily commutes. Any upward or downward revision in petrol prices directly affects household budgets, particularly for the middle and lower-income segments of society.
Similarly, high-speed diesel is widely used in transportation and commercial vehicles. An increase in diesel prices leads to higher transportation costs, which, in turn, raises the prices of other consumer goods, adding to the financial burden on the general population.
The most recent revision of petroleum prices was announced on January 15, 2025, when the government increased the rates of key fuels for the second half of the month. As part of this revision, the price of petrol was raised by Rs 3.47 per liter, making it more expensive than before. This adjustment reflects the government’s regular practice of aligning domestic fuel prices with fluctuations in the international oil market.
According to an official notification from the Finance Division, the price of high-speed diesel also rose by Rs 2.61 per liter, increasing from Rs 258.34 to Rs 260.95. The Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) played a pivotal role in calculating these new prices, taking into account global market trends and their impact on local fuel costs.
These price adjustments highlight the importance of monitoring petroleum rates, as they play a crucial role in shaping the country’s economy and influencing the cost of living for the average citizen.
