ISLAMABAD – Consumers in Pakistan may get relief as petrol prices are expected to decrease in the first half of December 2025. The reduction comes after months of high fuel costs that have affected households, transporters, and businesses.
According to sources, petrol prices could drop by Rs. 3.75 per liter. High-speed diesel (HSD) is expected to see a larger decrease of Rs. 6.10 per liter. Other petroleum products will also see reductions. Kerosene oil may fall by Rs. 0.73 per liter, while light diesel oil (LDO) could decrease by Rs. 6.35 per liter.
Officials said the oil industry has completed calculations for the revised rates and submitted them to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). OGRA is now preparing a detailed summary based on these recommendations. The summary will be forwarded to the Ministry of Finance for approval.
The Ministry of Finance will announce the new petrol prices officially on November 30. The revised rates will be effective for the first 15 days of December. Sources confirmed that the Ministry will also consult the Prime Minister before finalizing the decision.
The upcoming reduction in petrol prices is expected to provide significant relief to consumers. Households will face lower transportation and utility costs, while businesses may benefit from reduced operational expenses. Transporters, in particular, are likely to see immediate financial relief due to lower fuel costs.
Experts say this step could also help ease inflationary pressures, as fuel prices directly impact the cost of goods and services across the country. The government’s timely intervention is seen as a positive measure ahead of the year-end, when consumer expenses usually rise.
With the new rates, Pakistanis can expect a temporary but meaningful reprieve from high fuel costs, supporting both economic activity and daily household budgets. The upcoming announcement will provide clarity on the exact pricing for petrol, diesel, and other petroleum products for the next two weeks.
