The federal government has raised prices of petroleum products by up to Rs3.02 per litre for the next 15 days, with the new rates taking effect from November 1, 2025.
According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Finance on Friday, the price of petrol has been jacked up by Rs2.43 per litre, bringing it up from Rs263.02 to Rs265.45 per litre. The price of high-speed diesel has been raised by Rs3.02 per litre, from Rs275.42 to Rs278.44 per litre.
