ISLAMABAD: Consumers may face another round of fuel price hikes from November 1, 2025, as ex-refinery and ex-depot prices of major petroleum products are projected to increase due to global market trends and exchange rate pressures.
According to industry sources, the ex-refinery price of petrol (PMG) is expected to rise by Rs1.48 per litre to Rs158.75, while high-speed diesel (HSD) may go up by Rs1.38 per litre to Rs174.40. Kerosene oil (Kero) is projected to see the sharpest jump of Rs2.33 per litre, taking its new price to Rs155.64. Light diesel oil (LDO) may also inch up by Rs0.49 to Rs141.44 per litre.
At the consumer level, the ex-depot sale price of petrol is likely to increase by Rs1.48 to Rs264.50 per litre, while HSD may climb by Rs1.38 to Rs276.48 per litre. Kerosene could surge by Rs2.34 to Rs184.05 per litre, and LDO is expected to rise by Rs0.49 to Rs163.25 per litre.
The expected adjustment will further tighten household and transport budgets, especially with the onset of winter when demand for diesel and kerosene typically increases.
Industry sources also said the continuous upward trend in petroleum prices may also push up inflation and transport fares, compounding the financial pressure on the general public.
If approved, this would mark the second consecutive fortnightly increase in petroleum prices, highlighting the volatility in international crude oil markets and the rupee’s weakness against the dollar, they added.
