ISLAMABAD — Pakistan has “largely secured” petrol cargoes for March and April, officials confirmed on Tuesday, as the government takes steps to stabilize domestic fuel prices and ensure uninterrupted supply amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
The assurance came during a meeting of the high-level committee monitoring petrol prices, chaired by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, where participants reviewed the energy supply situation and assessed developments in global oil and gas markets. According to a statement issued by the Finance Ministry, cargo inflows are continuing as scheduled, with additional shipments planned to strengthen supply buffers further.
Minister Aurangzeb emphasized that proactive planning, diversified procurement strategies, and close coordination among all relevant stakeholders have enabled Pakistan to maintain a stable domestic fuel supply despite global market volatility. He also directed authorities to remain vigilant, closely monitoring international developments, stock levels, and supply chain dynamics to ensure timely and coordinated policy responses.
This proactive approach aims to safeguard consumers against sudden price spikes and mitigate risks posed by geopolitical tensions affecting global energy markets, providing stability and confidence in Pakistan’s fuel sector.
