Islamabad (14 July 2025):
A major increase in petrol and diesel prices is expected in Pakistan within the next 15 days. Sources confirm that rates could go up by Rs. 6.60 per litre, with the final announcement from the Petroleum Ministry anticipated by July 15 evening.
This potential hike is attributed to two major factors:
-
Global oil prices have surged, with Brent crude nearing $90 per barrel.
-
Pakistani rupee depreciation is increasing the cost of imported oil.
If approved, the hike will likely impact transport fares, grocery prices, and may trigger a fresh wave of inflation.
Public reaction is intense on social media, with citizens urging the government not to pass the burden onto the people and demanding fuel subsidies.
