The Cabinet Committee for Monitoring Petrol Prices on Monday confirmed that Pakistan has adequate fuel stocks to meet demand until March 31, with import arrangements in place to cover petroleum products and RLNG until mid-April 2026.
The committee, chaired by Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, reviewed the country’s fuel inventory, import plans, and supply chain operations. Federal Ministers for Petroleum and Maritime Affairs, the State Bank governor, federal secretaries, and senior officials from relevant ministries and regulatory bodies also attended the meeting.
Officials said current cargo scheduling will ensure fuel availability through mid-April, and steps are being taken to extend coverage until the end of the month. The committee noted that procurement strategies are being diversified to reduce dependence on a single supply route and strengthen energy security.
