Pakistan is set to adjust fuel prices starting February 1, with high-speed diesel expected to rise sharply. Petrol, in contrast, may see a slight reduction, officials said. The changes come amid ongoing inflation pressures affecting households and businesses.
According to sources, high-speed diesel could increase by Rs9.47 per litre, kerosene oil by Rs3.69 per litre, and light diesel oil by Rs6.95 per litre. Petrol prices are likely to fall by 36 paisas per litre. These adjustments follow OGRA’s completed review of petroleum product rates.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) will submit its summary to the Petroleum Division on Thursday. After consultations with the Prime Minister, the ministry will finalize the revised prices. Notifications are expected on January 31, with changes effective from February 1.
Earlier this month, the government kept fuel prices unchanged. On January 15, petrol remained at Rs253.17 per litre, while high-speed diesel was Rs257.08 per litre. This stability followed a significant cut in prices at the end of 2025.
