Petrol Price September 2025: No Change, Diesel Cut by Rs 3

The federal government has announced its latest petroleum price revision for the fortnight starting September 1, 2025. Petrol prices remain unchanged, while diesel and other fuels have seen slight reductions, reflecting global market trends.

Updated Fuel Prices (September 1–15, 2025)

Fuel Type Price per Litre Change
Petrol Rs 264.61 No change
High-Speed Diesel (HSD) Rs 269.99 Reduced by Rs 3
Light Diesel Oil (LDO) Rs 159.76 Reduced by Rs 2.40
Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) Rs 176.81 Reduced by Rs 1.46

Global Market Influence

The federal government cited international crude oil trends as the main factor behind the price adjustment:

  • Brent crude hovered around $73–75 per barrel, showing a slight dip compared to mid-August.

  • The Pakistani rupee remained stable against the US dollar, helping authorities maintain petrol prices while offering modest relief on diesel.

Taxes and Levies Affecting Prices

Domestic taxation plays a significant role in fuel costs:

  • Petroleum Levy (PL): Rs 60/litre on both petrol and diesel

  • Customs duty and dealer margins

  • General Sales Tax: Currently zero, but other levies keep retail prices high

This means that even when global oil prices drop, consumers may not experience the full benefit due to government-imposed charges.

Sector-Wise Impact

Agriculture: Diesel is widely used in tractors, harvesters, and tube-wells. A Rs 3 reduction may slightly lower farmers’ operational costs ahead of the sowing season.

Transport & Logistics: Diesel-powered heavy vehicles benefit from lower rates, potentially reducing freight charges and easing pressure on essential goods prices.

Consumers: Petrol users, including motorcyclists and car owners, will see no change in fuel costs, affecting middle- and lower-income groups directly.

Historical Price Trend

  • This is the second consecutive fortnight with a diesel reduction.

  • In mid-August, HSD dropped by Rs 12.84 per litre, while petrol prices have largely remained stable.

  • Year-on-year, petrol prices are still higher than September 2024, reflecting global volatility and domestic taxation.

What’s Next?

The next price review is scheduled for September 15, 2025. Analysts indicate that further reductions depend on:

  1. Movements in global crude oil prices

  2. Stability of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar

If international prices continue to soften, consumers could see additional relief in mid-September.
