The Petroleum Division has confirmed the anticipated price hikes. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) is expected to send a summary to the Ministry of Petroleum today, with an official announcement of the revised prices expected later this evening.
The Finance Minister, in consultation with the Prime Minister, will finalise and approve the new pricing structure.
These expected hikes follow a recent increase in fuel prices that took effect on June 16, 2025. The price of petrol was raised by Rs4.80 per litre. Similarly, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) increased by Rs7.95 per litre
On the other hand, OGRA has officially issued a notification for a significant increase in gas prices for domestic and other consumer categories, with the new rates coming into effect from July 1, 2025.
The move brings further financial pressure on inflation-hit citizens, as domestic gas tariffs have been revised upward by up to 50% in certain categories.
