Pakistan’s Petrol Sales Up 19% Despite Regional War and Higher Fuel Prices

Pakistan’s oil marketing companies (OMCs) recorded a strong recovery in fuel demand during March 2026, with total petroleum sales rising 19 percent year-on-year (YoY) to 1.44 million tons, compared with 1.22 million tons in March 2025, according to data compiled by Topline Securities.

On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, industry-wide sales increased 13 percent compared to February levels, showing resilient consumption despite a notable rise in petrol and diesel prices during the month.

Cumulative sales for the first nine months of FY2025-26 reached 12.4 million tons, reflecting a 5 percent YoY increase from 11.77 million tons recorded in the corresponding period last year.
