Petrol price in Pakistan today has increased by Rs 8.36 per litre, bringing the new rate to Rs 266.79 effective July 1, 2025, according to a notification from the Finance Division. Meanwhile, the government also raised the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs 10.39, setting it at Rs 272.98 per litre for the next fortnight.
Despite a dip in global crude oil prices—brent crude recently fell amid easing Middle East tensions and OPEC+ supply boosts—local petrol prices have increased. This is because the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) periodically recommends price adjustments, factoring in global rates, currency movements, and domestic levies. Ogra’s latest submission led to this new petrol price in Pakistan today increase .
Retail data indicate that petrol jumped from Rs 258.43 to Rs 266.79 per litre, while diesel spiked from Rs 262.59 to Rs 272.98—an inflationary trend that mirrors rising transport and production costs.
This fuel price hike will directly impact Pakistan’s inflation, as higher diesel prices raise transportation costs for goods and public transport. Consumers may soon see increases in essential services and food prices.
Experts expect this to be the second consecutive hike, following increases on June 16 when petrol went up by Rs 4.80 and diesel by Rs 7.95 .
With petrol price in Pakistan today at this level, many households and businesses are already adjusting their monthly budgets. Local economists warn that unless global oil prices decline significantly or the rupee strengthens, another similar increase is possible in the next fortnightly review.
