Fuel consumers across Pakistan may finally see some relief as petrol and diesel prices are expected to decrease in the next fortnightly revision on December 1, 2025. According to early internal assessments shared by official sources, significant reductions are likely across multiple petroleum products as global market rates continue to ease.
The government is currently preparing the revised price summary, which will be finalized before being submitted for approval.
Expected Reduction in Fuel Prices
Preliminary estimates suggest the following price cuts:
-
Petrol: Possible reduction of Rs3.70 per litre
-
High-speed diesel (HSD): Expected decrease of Rs4.28 per litre
-
Kerosene oil: Estimated drop of Rs7.30 per litre
-
Light diesel oil (LDO): Could become cheaper by Rs6.35 per litre
Government officials report that these projected cuts are a result of:
-
A decline in international crude oil prices
-
Adjustments in import premiums
-
Improved global supply stability
These factors together have lowered the overall import cost of petroleum products for Pakistan.
Final Summary to Be Submitted on November 30
The Ministry of Energy and relevant pricing departments are compiling the updated petroleum price summary.
The final document will be sent to the government on November 30, after which Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will make the final decision.
If approved, the revised prices will come into effect from the next fortnightly fuel price announcement.
Why the Expected Price Cut Matters
With inflation continuing to impact everyday life, a reduction in fuel prices could provide much-needed financial relief to:
-
Daily commuters
-
Transport operators
-
Small businesses
-
Households struggling with rising costs
Lower fuel prices typically help reduce transport fares, decrease the cost of essential goods, and ease overall inflationary pressure.
Current Petroleum Prices in Pakistan
As of November 16, the government kept fuel prices unchanged for the previous two weeks. According to the Ministry of Finance:
-
Petrol: Rs 248.38 per litre
-
High-speed diesel: Rs 255.14 per litre
-
Kerosene oil: Rs 161.54 per litre
These rates will remain in effect until the updated prices are approved on December 1.
Final Thoughts
If the projected reductions are confirmed, the December fuel price revision may offer meaningful relief to consumers amid persistent inflation. All eyes are now on the government’s final decision, which is expected on November 30. The upcoming announcement could play an important role in shaping transport costs and household budgets in the weeks ahead.
