ISLAMABAD:
The price of diesel may increase by Rs 9.60. per liter in line with fluctuations in global prices with effect from 16 November 2025. But the price of petrol is expected to fall.
Prices of other petroleum products such as kerosene and light diesel oil (LDO) are also likely to rise along with diesel.
According to oil industry projections, petrol (PMG) ex-depot price may fall by Rs 1.96 per liter to Rs 263.49, marking a decline of 0.7%. The price of high-speed diesel (HSD) is expected to increase by Rs9.60 per liter to Rs288.04, an increase of 3.4%.
Similarly, the price of kerosene is expected to increase by Rs8.82 to Rs193.87, while LDO may increase by Rs7.15 to Rs171.13 per litre.
These prices also include premiums, with gasoline carrying $5.10/barrel on import and HSD $3.20/barrel. The exchange rate has remained unchanged, while Platt’s market data for the remaining two days will conclude the government’s decision.
The revised prices also reflect higher taxes, with consumers paying Rs 80.52 per liter in oil tax and carbon tax on petrol and Rs 79.51 on HSD.
HSD is widely used in the agricultural and transport sectors, therefore a revision of the price will have a significant impact on consumers.
Gasoline is used in motorcycles and cars. It is also considered to be an alternative to CNG in vehicles, especially in Punjab where indigenous gas is not available for the CNG stations. Petroleum oil is primarily used in remote areas, especially in the northern part of the country, where LPG is not available for cooking.
