Petrol Prices Likely to Reduce in Pakistan Check Expected Drop Per Litre from April 16, 2025
Petrol prices in Pakistan are likely to decrease by Rs.12 per liter starting April 16, 2025, as international crude oil rates witness a sharp decline.
The price cut comes in response to global market trends, where Brent crude oil has dropped significantly — falling from $74.95 per barrel to $60.12 per barrel. This notable decline of over $14 per barrel in just a few weeks is linked to weakening demand and ongoing negative market sentiment across global energy sectors.
Current Fuel Prices in Pakistan (April 1–15, 2025)
| Fuel Type | Price (Rs./Litre) |
|---|---|
| Petrol | 254.63 |
| Diesel | 258.64 |
Expected Fuel Prices from April 16, 2025
| Fuel Type | Expected Price (Rs./Litre) |
|---|---|
| Petrol | 242–243 |
| Diesel | 248–250 |
With this reduction, petrol prices are expected to settle around Rs.242 to Rs.243 per litre, while diesel may come down to Rs.248 to Rs.250 per litre.
Why Are Prices Dropping?
The recent price drop in the international oil market is influenced by:
- Reduced global demand
- Market uncertainty and negative investor sentiment
- Over-supply concerns in certain regions
These factors combined have led to a sharp dip in oil prices, which is now being reflected in Pakistan’s local fuel market.
Relief for Consumers
This expected price adjustment is set to bring much-needed relief for households and transport sectors, especially as fuel costs have remained a major contributor to inflation in recent months. Lower fuel prices are also likely to reduce transport fares, improve supply chain costs, and ease pressure on businesses and everyday consumers.
