Expected Petrol Prices from October 1
Reports said the government may increase the petrol price by Rs1.97 per litre, taking the new rate to Rs266.58 per litre.
The high speed diesel price is expected to increase by Rs2.48, with new rate surging to Rs272.47.

Petrol and diesel are the two most widely consumed fuels in Pakistan, primarily used in transportation, agriculture, and power generation. With rising vehicle numbers and industrial activity, fuel demand continues to grow steadily.
Pakistan imports a significant portion of its petroleum products, making fuel consumption closely linked to global oil prices and exchange rates.
The government often regulates fuel prices through subsidies and monthly price revisions, which directly affect inflation, public transport costs, and overall economic activity.
