In a welcome move for households across Pakistan, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has officially announced a significant cut in the prices of Liquefied Petroleum Ga(LPG) for the month of June 2025. The revised rates are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to offer some financial relief to the public amid rising living costs.
According to the latest notification issued by OGRA, the price of an 11.8 kg domestic LPG cylinder has been slashed by Rs54.60, bringing the new cost down to Rs2,838.31. This drop will be effective from June 1, 2025. On a per kilogram basis, the price of LPG has been reduced by Rs4.63, bringing it to Rs240.53 per kg.
This move is expected to bring much-needed ease for millions of households, especially those in rural and low-income areas that rely heavily on LPG for daily cooking and heating needs. With inflation pressures continuing to weigh on consumers, the decision comes as a timely intervention.
Fuel Prices May Also Ease in Early June 2025
In addition to the LPG price drop, Pakistani consumers may experience slight relief at the petrol pumps too. As per market expectations, fuel prices, including petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD), are projected to come down modestly in the first half of June.
While the reductions won’t be dramatic, every rupee counts for families managing tight budgets. Petrol prices are expected to decline by Rs0.60 to Rs1.00 per litre, bringing the current rate of Rs252.63 down to a range between Rs251.63 and Rs251.03 per litre. Similarly, HSD prices may fall by Rs0.28 to Rs0.50 per litre, reducing the price from Rs254.64 to between Rs254.36 and Rs254.14.
Although not a major shift, the small cuts are still a positive sign, particularly as the country navigates fluctuating global energy prices.

Slight Increases in Other Petroleum Products
However, not all fuel categories will see a decrease. According to market analysts, kerosene oil prices are likely to increase by Rs0.30 per litre, taking the new price to Rs164.96 per litre. Similarly, Light Diesel Oil (LDO) might go up by Rs1.30 per litre due to supply and demand adjustments.
This mixed bag of price changes reflects the complex dynamics of international oil trends and domestic fiscal policies.
Global Oil Market Trends Behind the Price Shift
The modest fuel price adjustments are being driven by a slight dip in international oil prices. Brent crude is currently trading between $64.02 and $64.60 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) has dropped below $61 per barrel, marking a 1.5% decline.
These price drops are largely influenced by speculation that OPEC+ may increase global oil output soon. While the exact timeline and scale of this output increase remain unclear, the news has already created downward pressure on oil prices in global markets.
Final Thoughts
While the fuel price reductions may not be as large as some had hoped, the cut in LPG rates is a tangible benefit for the everyday consumer. With inflation still a pressing issue, even a slight drop in household energy costs can have a meaningful impact.
The next few weeks will be critical in watching whether global oil trends continue downward, potentially paving the way for deeper fuel price cuts in the near future. For now, consumers can breathe a little easier as they head into June with lower LPG costs and slightly more affordable fuel prices.
