Petrol price up by Re1, LPG down by Rs4.62/kg
Listen to article The federal government has raised the petrol price by Re1 for the next fortnight, while keeping the high-speed diesel rate unchanged. The new prices will be applicable from June 1. According to a notification issued by the Finance Department, petrol will now be sold at Rs253.63 per litre while high speed diesel (HSD) will continue to be sold at Rs254.64 per litre. The finance ministry said that the prices were based on recommendations from OGRA and other relevant ministries. The government is focusing more on collecting petroleum levy on petroleum products to redirect to subsidize electricity prices. It had earlier decided to fund Rs1.70 per unit subsidy for the consumers of electricity by redirecting PL collection. It also later decided to redirect PL collection to fund canal and road projects in Balochistan province. The government has already decided to increase the petroleum levy rate up to Rs90 per litre on the sale of oil products. At present, the consumers are paying Rs78 per litre in petroleum levy on petrol and Rs77 per litre on diesel. LPG The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has reduced the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for June 2025 in response to fluctuations in the global market. According to an Ogra notification, the new consumer price of LPG has been set at Rs2,838.31 per 11.8 kg cylinder, down from Rs2,892.91 in May. This reflects a decrease of Rs54.60 per cylinder, or Rs4.62 per kilogram. The regulator attributed the price reduction to a 2.67% drop in the Saudi Aramco Contract Price (CP), which directly impacts local LPG producer rates. Additionally, a slight 0.35% increase in the average dollar exchange rate was recorded. For June, Ogra has set the revised producer price at Rs199,234.49 per ton, which stood at Rs203,861.82 in May - causing a decline of Rs4,627.33 per ton. Irfan Khokhar, Chairman of the All Pakistan LPG Distributors Association, welcomed the reduction in LPG prices and urged the government to ensure that the official price set by Ogra is strictly enforced.
