Petrol Price Stays the Same. Relief Will Have to Wait

Islamabad Petrol Price Update Today – April 18, 2025: The government has made its decision. Petrol prices will remain unchanged for the next two weeks. The price remains at Rs254.63 per litre. Diesel stays at Rs258.64 per litre.

Just last week, people expected good news. Reports said petrol prices could drop by Rs 8 to Rs 12 per litre. Many hoped for some relief before Eid. However, those hopes are now on hold.

Why No Change (Latest Fuel Prices)?

Officials say global oil prices are not stable. Also, the exchange rate is under pressure. As a result, they decided to maintain steady prices.

However, people are not happy. Fuel costs affect everything. When prices remain high, daily life becomes more challenging.

Abdul Rehman, a taxi driver in Rawalpindi, shared his frustration. “We thought petrol would be cheaper. It’s hard to manage now.”

Earlier, some news outlets even claimed a Rs70 per litre cut. But that was not true. The government later stated that it was part of a long-term plan, not an immediate price adjustment.

What’s Next?

The following price review is in two weeks. Until then, prices will not change. People still hope for a cut soon. It all depends on the global oil market and the value of the rupee.

For now, the wait continues. The relief hasn’t arrived—but maybe it’s still on the way.
