Islamabad, October 31, 2025 – The suspense is building across Pakistan as citizens await the government’s fortnightly review of petroleum prices — and all eyes are on what could change at midnight. Will fuel prices rise again starting November 1, 2025? Let’s break it down.
Reports suggest that the federal government is likely to increase petrol and diesel prices, following a new summary sent for approval to the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister’s Office. If the proposal is approved, the revised rates will take effect from Friday midnight, adding pressure on already strained household budgets.
Here’s what may be coming your way 👇
| Fuel Type | Current Price (PKR/Liter) | Expected Change (PKR) | New Price (PKR/Liter) |
| Petrol | 263.02 | +1.48 | 264.50 |
| High-Speed Diesel | 275.42 | +1.38 | 276.80 |
| Kerosene Oil | 174.20 (approx.) | +2.34 | 176.54 |
| Light Diesel Oil | 164.10 (approx.) | +0.48 | 164.58 |
💡 Why the hike?
Experts point to rising international crude oil prices, the depreciating Pakistani rupee, and adjustments in petroleum levies and sales tax. Since Pakistan imports the majority of its fuel, even slight global price changes can quickly impact local rates.
📈 What it means for you:
If approved, this will be another consecutive fuel price hike, driving up transport costs, food prices, and even electricity bills. Economists caution that it could spark another round of inflation, while officials insist it’s a necessary step to stabilize supply and prevent shortages.
The final decision is expected later tonight — so stay tuned to see whether fuel prices jump or stay steady from November 1, 2025.
