Islamabad: gasoline prices are expected to increase in RS6.60 per liter and diesel at RS5.27 per liter for the next fortnight from July 16, mainly due to changes in the exchange rate and adjustments in the oil tax, according to The news.

In contrast, the price of kerosene can fall into RS3.74 per liter, while light diesel oil (LDO) could see a decrease in RS2.23 per liter.

It is likely that gasoline is established at the new price of RS273.39 per liter with an increase of 2.5% and diesel to RS278.25 with an increase of 1.9%.

However, the announcement of US President Donald Trump will increase commercial sanctions to Russia if he did not stop the war against Ukraine has caused more increase in POL prices in the international market. Crude oil prices have reached more than $ 71 per barrel.

At the beginning of last month, citing fluctuations in international prices of crude oil, the Finance Division announced an increase in the price of gasoline at RS8.36 per liter, as of July 1.

On June 16, 2025, gasoline increased by RS4.80 per liter and high -speed diesel at RS7.95.

Gasoline drives small vehicles, Rickshaws and bicycles, which makes price increases especially hard in middle and low income homes that depend on it for daily trips.

In contrast, a substantial portion of the transport sector depends on high speed diesel. Its price is considered inflationary due to its general use in trucks, buses, trains and agricultural machinery, such as tractors and metro wells.

The highest cost of high -speed diesel contributes directly to the increase in vegetable prices and other essential foods.
