ISLAMABAD: Pakistanis can look forward to some relief this Eid-ul-Fitr as petrol and diesel prices are expected to be reduced from April 1, 2025 amid a decline in global oil prices, which has forced the government to consider reducing fuel prices.
Sources say that petrol prices may be reduced by around Rs 3 to 3.50 per litre while diesel prices may be reduced by around Rs 3 per litre. The federal government is set to take the final decision on price cuts to provide relief to the public during the festive season.
Expected Petrol Prices from April 1
Product | Expected Price |
Petrol | 252.13 – 252.63 |
Diesel | 255.64 |
The government has also hinted at plans to revise fuel prices every fortnight, factoring in factors such as fluctuations in global oil prices, exchange rates and local tax policies.
This expected reduction in prices will provide relief to the masses who are already facing inflation this Eid. With petrol prices in the global market down by $1.50 per barrel and diesel prices by $0.60 per barrel, Pakistan is set to benefit from these global trends.
In the past fortnight, fuel prices remained unchanged, with petrol priced at Rs 255.63 and diesel at Rs 258.64.
