Pakistan's government has reduced the price of petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs22 per litre each, bringing petrol to approximately Rs381 and HSD to around Rs380 per litre, effective from Saturday. The announcement, made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's office, follows a smaller cut of Rs6–7 per litre the previous week and comes as lower global oil prices have created fiscal room for the reductions. The cuts are significant for Pakistan's middle and lower-income households, as petrol directly affects the cost of private vehicles, rickshaws, and motorcycles, while diesel underpins the country's heavy transport and logistics sectors.
