In a key development related to the petrol price in Pakistan, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved an increase of Rs. 4.12 per litre in the prices of petrol and high-speed diesel. This decision, taken during a meeting held on May 13, 2025, aims to offset financial losses faced by oil refineries, oil marketing companies (OMCs), and fuel dealers across the country.
According to sources, the approved price adjustment will be implemented from May 16, 2025, and will be absorbed into the expected relief resulting from a global decline in crude oil prices. While international oil markets have seen a dip, the government has opted to redirect a portion of that relief to support the local oil supply chain.
This means that although a decrease in petrol price in Pakistan May 2025 was initially anticipated due to falling global rates, consumers will now receive a reduced level of relief, as Rs. 4.12 per litre will be passed on to refineries and OMCs to ensure sustainability of fuel supply.
A formal notification regarding this price adjustment is expected to be issued today (Thursday), according to official sources.
The ECC’s decision is seen as a balancing act between providing some level of consumer relief and maintaining the operational stability of Pakistan’s fuel infrastructure. Industry experts suggest that such measures are necessary to avoid disruption in petrol and diesel distribution, especially when global price trends fluctuate unpredictably.
With the latest update on petrol price in Pakistan, consumers are advised to stay informed about the official notification that will clarify final rates for the second half of May 2025.
