Petrol prices likely to ease in September

August 27, 2025 (MLN): Petrol prices are expected to decrease by Rs1.5 per litre for the first half of September 2015, following a slight dip in international oil rates.

The new prices will take effect from September 1 to 15, 2015.

The federal government is likely to make the formal declaration on the night of August 31, bringing a small measure of relief to consumers already burdened by rising living costs.

Currently, the ex-depot price stands at Rs264.61 per litre for petrol and Rs272.99 per litre for HSD.

The expected adjustment reflects recent movements in global oil markets, coupled with a slight reduction in the petrol import premium, both of which are driving the anticipated decline in domestic fuel prices.

To recall, in the last fortnight, the government kept the price of petrol unchanged at Rs264.61 per litre, while reducing the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs12.84 to Rs272.99, following OGRA’s recommendations.

The revision also saw a cut in the price of Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) by Rs7.19 to Rs178.27 per litre and Light Diesel Oil (LDO) by Rs8.20 to Rs162.37, according to the Finance Division’s notification.
