ISLAMABAD: The federal government is considering up to Rs 2.34 per litre increase in the prices of petroleum products for the next two weeks, beginning November 1, 2025.
The primary factors leading to these potential hikes are a slight increase in global oil prices and exchange rate adjustments.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) is scheduled to submit its summary to the Ministry of Finance by October 31. While the final announcement is still two days away, the government is widely expected to approve the increase.
