Petrol prices in Pakistan expected to witness a slight relief starting June 1, 2025, offering a small breather to consumers amid ongoing inflationary pressure. According to recent reports, the Pakistan petrol price June 2025 is likely to decrease by approximately PKR 0.60 to PKR 1.00 per litre, potentially bringing the current rate of PKR 256.13 per litre down to a new estimated range of PKR 255.13 to PKR 255.53.
Similarly, the price of High-Speed Diesel (HSD) is also projected to decrease marginally by PKR 0.28 to PKR 0.50 per litre, reducing the current price of PKR 260.95 per litre to an expected PKR 260.45 to PKR 260.67 range. These expected price cuts are being attributed to a decline in global oil prices, with Brent crude dropping to around $64.62 per barrel and WTI crude slipping to $61.38 per barrel.

What’s Driving the Price Changes?
Several factors are influencing the petrol prices in Pakistan, especially as we move into June 2025:
- Global Oil Market Trends: Declining crude oil prices globally have directly impacted the domestic pricing forecast.
- Currency Exchange Rate: A mild depreciation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar may slightly counter the expected relief.
- Government Levies: The petrol price currently includes a Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) of PKR 78.2 per litre and PKR 77.1 on diesel, in addition to customs duties and dealer margins.
- OGRA’s Role: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) continues to revise fuel prices on a bi-monthly basis, typically on the 15th and last day of each month. The official update for Pakistan petrol price June 2025 is expected on May 31, 2025, following approval by the Ministry of Finance.
What to Expect in July 2025?
While June may offer a slight drop in petrol prices in Pakistan, experts warn of a sharp price hike in July 2025. As part of proposed fiscal adjustments and IMF agreements, the Petroleum Development Levy is expected to rise to over PKR 100 per litre, along with a PKR 5 per litre carbon levy on petrol and diesel. If implemented, this could push Pakistan petrol prices dangerously close to PKR 300 per litre, significantly increasing the financial burden on everyday consumers.
The upcoming reduction in Pakistan petrol price June 2025 might offer temporary relief, but with looming hikes on the horizon due to policy reforms and international commitments, consumers are advised to plan accordingly. Keep an eye out for the official announcement by OGRA and the Ministry of Finance on May 31, 2025, for the confirmed rates.
