Petrol price cut June 6 brings another reduction for motorists as the government trims petrol by Rs. 4 while leaving diesel untouched

Pakistan’s petrol prices are heading down again. The federal government announced a Rs. 4 per litre reduction in petrol prices effective from midnight on June 6, 2026. The petrol price cut June announcement brings petrol down from Rs. 381.56 to Rs. 377.56 per litre. Moreover, the government chose to leave high-speed diesel unchanged at Rs. 380.56 per litre this time around.

The cut follows a much larger reduction last week. On that occasion, both petrol and diesel came down by Rs. 22.22 per litre. Furthermore, that earlier cut brought significant relief to consumers across the country. Therefore, the latest reduction, while smaller, continues a downward trend that has now seen petrol fall considerably over consecutive fortnightly reviews.

Diesel users, however, will not see any change in their bills. The government kept diesel prices frozen at their current level. Furthermore, no official explanation was provided for the decision to reduce only petrol while leaving diesel untouched. Therefore, truck operators, farmers, and businesses that rely heavily on diesel will feel no immediate benefit from this round of revisions.

An official notification from the Petroleum Division is expected shortly to formally confirm the new rates. The revised prices take effect at 12 AM on June 6. Furthermore, the new petrol rate of Rs. 377.56 per litre marks a meaningful decline from the recent peak of over Rs. 414 per litre recorded earlier this year.

For petrol vehicle owners, the cumulative relief over the past two revisions now exceeds Rs. 26 per litre. Still, prices remain significantly above where they stood two years ago. Finally, whether further cuts follow in the next fortnightly review will depend on international oil market movements and the government’s fiscal position heading into the new budget year.
