According to a notification issued by the Finance Division, the price of petrol will now be priced at Rs 263.02 per litre. The price of high speed diesel (HSD) has also been reduced by Rs 1.39 to Rs 275.41 per litre.
Similarly, the price of kerosene oil has reduced by Rs 3.26 to Rs 181.71 per litre. The government has fixed the price of light diesel at Rs 162.76 per liter for the next fortnight.
“The government has adjusted the prices of petroleum products for the fortnight starting tomorrow (October 16, 2025), based on the recommendation of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and relevant ministries,” the notification reads.
Petrol is mainly used in private transport, small vehicles, rickshaws and two-wheelers. Higher fuel prices significantly impact the budgets of members of the middle and lower middle classes, who consume gasoline primarily to get around.
On the other hand, a significant part of the transportation sector depends on high-speed diesel.
Its price is considered inflationary as it is predominantly used in heavy goods transport vehicles, trucks, buses, trains and agricultural machinery such as tractors, tube wells and threshers. The consumption of high-speed diesel especially contributes to the increase in prices of vegetables and other foods.
