1. Introduction

Pakistan may finally see relief at the pumps as fuel prices are expected to fall from December 1, 2025. The change follows a notable decline in global oil prices, prompting fresh calculations by local oil companies and regulatory authorities.

2. Expected Reductions in Fuel Prices

Early estimates indicate a significant drop across multiple petroleum products. According to industry sources:

• Petrol may fall by Rs. 3.75 per litre

• High-speed diesel could drop by Rs. 6.10 per litre

• Kerosene is expected to decrease by Rs. 0.73 per litre

• Light diesel oil may see the biggest cut of Rs. 6.35 per litre

These projections reflect shifting global trends and lower import costs.

3. OGRA’s Evaluation

Oil marketing companies have finalized their pricing calculations and submitted them to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
OGRA is currently reviewing these figures and preparing its official summary, which will be forwarded to the Ministry of Finance for approval.

4. Government Announcement Timeline

The Ministry of Finance is expected to announce the revised prices on November 30, following consultation with the Prime Minister.

If approved, these reductions will offer noticeable relief to households, transporters, and businesses already dealing with inflationary pressures. Lower petrol and diesel prices typically have a ripple effect, easing the cost of daily transportation and logistics.
