According to data released by Topline Securities, Pakistan’s oil marketing companies (OMCS) offered a strong performance in September 2025, which increased the total sale 1.4 million tonnes, an 8 % increase in the year (YOY) and 5 % compared to August.
This pace pushed sales of the first quarter of the fiscal year 26 (July to September) to 3.89 million tonnes, which is 6 % higher than the same period last year.
Except for the furnace oil (FO), its development was even more clear, a product whose demand is constantly decreasing. Former Fu sales fell 13 % YOY in September and the month (Mom) from 6 months, which is rotating in 1.36 million tonnes. For the first quarter, the sales of the former FO were killed 3.85 million tonnes, which increased by 11 % YOY.
Industry experts attribute this increase to a combination of strong economic activity and strict implementation against smuggled fuel. The government’s crackdown on illegal fuel imports has provided the channel’s demand for formal OMCS, while gradually economic recovery has eliminated consumption in important petroleum products.
Petrol (MS) sales increased by 5 % YOY in the first quarter, which reflects the increasing activity of transportation and transportation. High -speed diesel (HSD) saw a strong growth, up to 15 %, when industrial and agricultural sectors accelerated work. On the contrary, FO sales declined by 78 % during the quarter, which is a direct result of new petroleum and climate prices introduced in the federal budget, which has made the FO less attractive to power generation and industrial use.
Only in August 2025, the total sale of petroleum reached 1.37 million tonnes, 5 % Yoy and 8 % mother. Petrol sales became 1 % mother, while HSD increased by 13 %. However, FO sales continued to fall under 29 % of the spiral compared to August last year.
