The current price of petrol in Pakistan is Rs 255.63 per litre
Petrol & Diesel Prices Expected to Decrease from March 16. Petrol and diesel prices are likely to be cut by up to Rs12 per litre in the upcoming review for the second fortnight of March 2025.
Oil Marketing Association of Pakistan (OMAP) Chairman Tariq Wazir Khan has predicted that petrol prices could be cut by Rs12 per litre and high-speed diesel prices by Rs8 per litre.
These claims come at a time when inflation in Pakistan has come down and people are expecting significant relief in petroleum prices from the government.
The OMAP chairman has hinted at a massive cut in petroleum prices this weekend amid a dispute with the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) over ‘take or pay’ contracts with local refineries.
Local media reported that under ‘take or pay’, OMCs will either have to buy their allocated quota of petroleum products from local refineries or pay penalties for failure to do so.
