What Drives Petrol & Diesel Prices in Pakistan?

Fuel prices fluctuate due to multiple factors:

  1. Global Oil Trends – International crude rates heavily influence local prices.
  2. Exchange Rate (USD/PKR) – A weaker rupee increases fuel costs.
  3. Taxes & Subsidies – Government levies and incentives directly affect pump prices.
  4. Refining & Freight Costs – Shipping and logistics add to final retail rates.
  5. Market Demand – Higher demand may trigger short-term adjustments.

Staying informed allows households and businesses to budget for transportation costs effectively.

Overview of Petroleum

Crude oil forms underground over millions of years as ancient organisms decay.

Refineries extract and process it into petroleum-based fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, which power vehicles, industries, and electricity generation. Petroleum is also the base for countless products, including plastics, lubricants, and synthetic fibres. Its role in transportation, manufacturing, and energy makes it one of the most valuable resources globally.

That’s why petroleum remains essential to modern life.

Types of Petroleum Products

Below are the common types of petroleum and their current prices:

  1. Petrol (Super)
  2. High-Speed Diesel (HSD)
  3. Light-Speed Diesel (LSD)
  4. Kerosene

Additional Insights

High-Octane Petrol

High-octane petrol, known for its superior quality and performance, commands a premium in Pakistan. OGRA does not control High-Octane prices, which vary across petrol pumps.

Historical Highest Petrol Rate in Pakistan

Pakistan’s highest recorded fuel price was PKR 331.38 per litre on September 16, 2023. Prices can fluctuate based on global demand and supply dynamics.

Euro Fuel Emission Standards in Pakistan

Pakistan adopted the Euro V emission standards in 2020 to enhance vehicle engine performance and reduce emissions.

This marks a significant leap beyond the Euro II standards adopted in 2012, skipping Euro III and IV. Many countries have been following Euro VI standards since 2014 and are expected to transition to Euro VII around 2025.

The rupee’s value in the international market directly affects oil prices in Pakistan. Since 2018, the rupee’s devaluation has driven global and domestic oil prices higher.

Let’s explore how these prices have changed over time and the reasons behind these fluctuations.

Regulation Attempts and Challenges

In 2021, the Pakistani government attempted to regulate fuel prices by decreasing the tax margin. Although this strategy was temporarily effective, it was a short-term solution.

Developing countries like Pakistan, which rely heavily on imported oil, often face oil price inflation, making it challenging for consumers to afford petrol.

Role of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA)

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) oversees petrol rates in Pakistan. OGRA reviews and revises fuel prices twice a month, announcing new rates on the 15th and the last day of each month, which typically remain effective for 15 days.

Historical Background of Prices

  • 1990s: Petrol was the primary fuel for cars before the introduction of compressed natural gas (CNG). Topping up with petrol was straightforward and affordable.
  • Zardari Regime: Peaked prices.
  • Nawaz Sharif Regime: Prices were relatively low, but the regime later experienced instability amid political changes.
  • Current Practices: OGRA sets current and future oil prices. These prices vary based on economic conditions, geopolitical factors, and government policies. For the latest rates, you can check PakWheels.

Factors Influencing Fuel Price Increases

Several factors contribute to the fluctuations in fuel prices, affecting both consumers and the national economy:

  1. International Crude Oil Prices: Global economic conditions and supply-and-demand dynamics affect oil prices.
  2. Exchange Rates: Because crude oil prices are denominated in US dollars, any depreciation of the local currency results in higher fuel prices.
  3. Taxes: Government-imposed petrol rate taxes vary by country and significantly affect prices.
  4. Refining Costs: The cost of converting crude oil into petroleum products is factored into the final price.
  5. Distribution Costs: The distance between refineries and retail outlets influences transportation costs, which in turn impact fuel prices.

Possible Control Measures

Controlling fuel prices is complex due to global factors, such as fluctuations in crude oil prices. The Pakistani government can offer subsidies, adjust taxes, and reserve petroleum imports to stabilise prices.

However, complete control is not feasible.

Impact of Fuel Prices on the Economy

Fuel prices have a ripple effect on various economic aspects:

  1. Inflation: Higher prices drive inflation, raising transportation costs and reducing household purchasing power.
  2. Consumer Spending: Increased fuel costs strain drivers’ budgets, limiting their spending capacity.
  3. Business Costs: Businesses face higher transportation costs, which can lead to increased product prices for consumers.
  4. Energy Efficiency: High prices encourage the use of public transportation and energy-efficient vehicles, such as hybrid or electric cars.
  5. Trade Balance: High fuel prices increase the import bill, raising external debt and affecting currency exchange rates.

Understanding these dynamics helps consumers and policymakers navigate the complexities of fuel pricing and its broader economic implications.

Dec 31, 2025263.45-9.82
Jun 1, 2025253.63+0.38

Over the years, fuel prices in Pakistan have fluctuated significantly, with notable increases and decreases. Here are some key highlights:

  • Peak Price: The highest recorded petrol price during this period was PKR 275.60 per litre on July 15, 2024.​
  • Recent Decrease: As of April 16, 2025, petrol price stands at PKR 254.63 per litre, down from the previous peak.​
  • Price Fluctuations: Throughout 2024, petrol prices experienced significant volatility, influenced by global oil market dynamics and domestic economic factors.
  • 2023: A substantial rise of PKR 81.58 was observed, bringing the price to PKR 331.38 per litre. This was among the largest increases recorded in recent years.
  • 2022: Another significant increase of PKR 102.91, reflecting the global impact on local fuel prices.
  • 2021: The price rose by PKR 44.11, marking the post-pandemic economic adjustments.
  • 2015: A significant drop of PKR 37.70, likely due to global oil market adjustments.
  • 2020: A moderate decrease of PKR 5.82 as the world grappled with the economic impacts of COVID-19.
  • 2012: An increase of PKR 32.22, influenced by geopolitical and economic factors.

These fluctuations underscore the volatility of fuel prices in Pakistan, which is driven by global oil market trends, economic conditions, and regulatory measures. Awareness of these trends can help plan and budget for fuel expenses effectively.

Global Oil Price

Global oil prices are influenced by multiple factors, including production levels, international conflicts, and shifts in demand due to economic conditions. OPEC+ plays a significant role in regulating supply, as its members often agree on production quotas to balance prices. For example, if they cut production, prices generally rise; increasing production can lead to a price decline.

Another critical factor is geopolitical tensions. Events such as wars or sanctions on oil-producing nations can disrupt supply chains, leading to price spikes. On the other hand, technological advancements or the discovery of new oil reserves can ease supply constraints and stabilise prices.

These global trends have a particularly significant impact in Pakistan. The country imports a substantial share of its crude oil, so fluctuations in global prices directly affect petrol prices. As a result, higher international prices translate into higher import bills and higher local petrol prices. This, in turn, increases transportation costs, raises prices of goods and services, and fuels inflation. However, when global oil prices decline, it provides some relief to consumers and businesses, helping to stabilise the economy.

Moreover, currency exchange rates add another layer of complexity. Since oil is typically traded in US dollars, a weaker Pakistani rupee against the dollar can amplify the impact of rising global oil prices, making imports even more expensive.
