The federal government has announced a significant reduction in the price of kerosene oil, extending the recent trend of fuel price cuts that has already seen decreases in petrol and diesel rates. According to an official notification, the price of kerosene oil has been reduced by Rs. 48.29 per litre, providing substantial relief to consumers who rely on the fuel for household and commercial use.
Following the latest adjustment, the new price of kerosene oil has been fixed at Rs. 233.90 per litre. The revised rate has come into immediate effect. Before this reduction, kerosene was being sold at Rs. 282.19 per litre, meaning consumers will now pay significantly less for each litre purchased.
Kerosene oil remains an important fuel source in many parts of Pakistan, particularly in rural and remote areas where it is commonly used for cooking, heating, and lighting. The latest reduction is expected to ease financial pressure on households that depend on kerosene as a primary energy source.
The price cut comes amid a broader decline in international oil prices and follows recent reductions in petrol and diesel rates announced by the government. Officials believe the downward trend in global energy markets has created room for passing relief directly to consumers through lower fuel prices.

Economic analysts suggest that lower fuel prices can have a positive impact on overall inflation by reducing transportation and energy-related costs. While petrol and diesel prices often receive the most public attention, reductions in kerosene prices are particularly important for lower-income households that rely on the fuel for daily needs.
Consumers across the country have welcomed the announcement, hoping that continued stability in global oil markets will lead to further reductions in energy costs in the coming months. Businesses that use kerosene for operational purposes may also benefit from lower expenses.
The latest revision reflects the government’s effort to provide relief to the public as fuel prices continue to adjust in line with changing international market conditions. The substantial reduction is expected to offer immediate financial benefits to millions of consumers nationwide.
