ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan’s petroleum consumption rose by 7.04 per cent year-on-year during July-March FY 2025, reaching 13.17 million metric tonnes (MMT).
The growth was mainly driven by increased transport activity and strong overseas fuel demand, despite lower usage in the industrial and power sectors said the Pakistan Economic Survey 2024-25.
The transport sector remained the largest fuel consumer, using 80 per cent of the total petroleum. Its consumption rose by 7.99 per cent, from 9.76 MMT in the first nine months of FY 2024 to 10.54 MMT in the same period of FY 2025.
This increase reflects more road travel, better trade movement, and higher vehicle operations.
