Petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan are expected to see significant changes from February one, two thousand twenty six, with a sharp increase in diesel prices likely to place additional pressure on household budgets and fuel inflation across the economy. Preliminary estimates suggest that high speed diesel may rise by around nine rupees per litre, a move that could ripple through transport costs, food prices and other essential goods, while petrol is expected to see only marginal relief.
According to the projected prices for the first half of February, petrol may record a minor cut of thirty six paisa per litre, easing from one hundred forty one rupees to around one hundred forty rupees and sixty four paisa. In contrast, high speed diesel is expected to jump by nine rupees and forty seven paisa per litre, increasing from one hundred fifty four rupees and sixty four paisa to approximately one hundred sixty four rupees and eleven paisa.
Kerosene oil is also projected to become more expensive, rising by three rupees and sixty nine paisa per litre to about one hundred forty five rupees and twenty nine paisa, while light diesel oil may increase by six rupees and ninety five paisa per litre, reaching around one hundred thirty one rupees and fifty nine paisa. Officials said the anticipated changes are being driven by volatility in international oil markets and exchange rate pressures, adding that the latest global price data has yet to be fully factored in, though it is unlikely to significantly alter the final prices.
