Islamabad, November 28, 2025 – Pakistanis are closely watching for the government’s announcement on petroleum price revisions for the first fortnight of December 2025. Reports suggest that consumers may finally get some relief, with petrol prices expected to decrease by Rs3.70 to Rs6.35 per litre starting December 1, 2025.
Expected Fuel Price Reductions
Preliminary calculations based on international market trends indicate potential reductions across key petroleum products:
• Petrol: Down by Rs3.70 per litre
• High-Speed Diesel (HSD): Down by Rs4.28 per litre
• Kerosene Oil: Down by Rs0.73 per litre
• Light Diesel Oil (LDO): Down by Rs6.35 per litre
After adjustment, petrol could be priced at Rs261.75 per litre, while high-speed diesel may drop to Rs280.12 per litre.
Decision-Making Process
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) is expected to submit its pricing summary to the Petroleum Division tomorrow. Subsequently, the Petroleum Division and Ministry of Finance will send their recommendations to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who will give the final approval.
What Happened in the Previous Fortnight?
In the last pricing review, diesel prices were raised by Rs6 per litre, while petrol prices remained unchanged. This fluctuation has left consumers anticipating whether December will finally bring relief at the pump.
Additional Petroleum Levy for Road Projects
Separately, the Senate was briefed on the additional petroleum levy implemented for road construction projects. According to ARY News, an extra Rs8 per litre on petrol and Rs7 per litre on diesel has been collected since April 16, 2025. Between April 16 and September 30, the government collected Rs66.13 billion from this levy, which continues to be part of petroleum prices.
