Islamabad(The COW News Digital)The Government of Pakistan has increased the price of jet fuel, marking another rise in petroleum product prices following the latest hike in petrol and high-speed diesel rates announced a day earlier.
According to official sources, the price of jet fuel has been raised by Rs13.23 per litre, taking the new rate to Rs251.02 per litre. The revised price comes into effect immediately and is attributed to the recent surge in international crude oil prices.
Officials said the adjustment reflects changes in global energy markets, where oil prices have climbed sharply in recent weeks. The increase is expected to impact aviation operating costs, although authorities have not yet announced whether airlines will pass the additional expense on to passengers through higher airfares.
The latest revision follows the government’s decision to raise the prices of petrol and high-speed diesel as part of its regular fuel price review. The Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division issued a notification confirming the revised rates, which came into effect on July 11, 2026.
Under the new pricing structure, the price of petrol has increased by Rs13.18 per litre, rising from Rs297.53 to Rs310.71 per litre.
Meanwhile, the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has been raised by Rs13.80 per litre, taking it from Rs309.50 to Rs323.30 per litre.
The government has linked the latest adjustments to fluctuations in international petroleum markets, where higher crude oil prices have increased import costs. Pakistan imports a significant portion of its petroleum requirements, making domestic fuel prices highly sensitive to changes in global oil benchmarks and exchange rate movements.
Industry analysts believe the increase in fuel prices could have broader economic implications, as higher transportation and energy costs often contribute to inflationary pressures across multiple sectors. Businesses that rely heavily on fuel, including transportation, logistics, and aviation, may experience increased operating expenses in the coming weeks.
The latest revisions are part of the government’s periodic review of petroleum prices, which is carried out in line with international market trends and recommendations from relevant regulatory authorities.
Consumers and businesses will now closely monitor future developments in global oil markets, as any further increase in crude prices could lead to additional adjustments in domestic fuel rates during the next pricing review.
