Pakistan’s Fuel sales reached 1.36 million tons in April 2026, according to the latest data. The figures show a decline compared to previous periods.
Reports indicate that Fuel sales dropped by 7 percent on a year-on-year basis. On a monthly basis, the decline stood at 6 percent. Analysts say rising fuel prices played a key role in reducing demand.
Higher prices have affected consumer behavior across the country. Many people have limited their usage due to increased costs. This has directly impacted overall Fuel consumption in April.
Despite the monthly drop, the long-term trend shows some growth. During the first 10 months of fiscal year 2026, total Fuel sales increased by 4 percent. The total volume reached 13.8 million tons during this period.
This suggests that while short-term demand has slowed, overall consumption remains stable. Experts believe economic activity and transportation needs are still supporting demand.
Ex-furnace oil sales also showed a similar pattern. Sales declined in April but remained higher over the 10-month period. This reflects mixed performance within the energy sector.
Major oil marketing companies reported varied results. Pakistan State Oil, Hascol Petroleum, Attock Petroleum, and Wafi Energy Pakistan all recorded different trends.
Most companies saw a decline in monthly sales volumes. However, some still reported growth in their yearly performance. This indicates that the market is adjusting to changing conditions.
Industry experts say price fluctuations remain a key factor. Global oil rates and local economic conditions both influence demand. As prices rise, consumption tends to decrease.
At the same time, economic recovery can support higher usage. Increased industrial and transport activity often leads to higher demand for energy products.
The latest data highlights the changing dynamics of Pakistan’s energy market. It shows how Fuel demand is influenced by both short-term and long-term factors.
