Pakistan has entered the New Year with significant relief for consumers after the federal government announced a Rs10.28 per litre reduction in petrol prices for the next fortnight, effective from January 1, 2026.
High-Speed Diesel (HSD) prices have been reduced by Rs8.57 per litre, lowering the rate from Rs265.65 to Rs257.08. Meanwhile, Motor Spirit (MS), commonly referred to as petrol, has seen a sharper cut of Rs10.28 per litre, bringing the price down from Rs263.45 to Rs253.17.
The Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division confirmed the fortnightly adjustment in a press release issued from Islamabad, stating that the revision was made after reviewing international oil prices and domestic economic factors.
The new fuel prices are expected to deliver immediate relief to motorists, transport operators, and fuel-dependent industries. Economic analysts believe the reduction could also help moderate inflationary pressures on transportation costs and consumer goods nationwide.
