Petrol prices in Pakistan expected to drop from April 1 – Check new rates

There’s good news for the people of Pakistan this Eidul Fitr! Fuel prices are expected to come down starting April 1, 2025, thanks to a decrease in international oil prices.

Sources suggest that petrol may become cheaper by Rs3 to Rs3.50 per litre, while diesel could see a cut of around Rs3 per litre. Although these are not official figures yet, the final decision will be made by the Finance Minister. The government plans to offer this relief as a gift to the public for Eid.

Pakistan reviews fuel prices every two weeks, based on international oil rates, the exchange rate, and local taxes.

If approved, this reduction will help ease financial pressure on many families who are already struggling with high living costs and inflation.

Globally, oil prices have dropped, with petrol falling by $1.50 per barrel and diesel by $0.60 per barrel. This decline is now expected to benefit consumers in Pakistan too.
