In March 2025, Pakistan’s Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) reported 1.2 million tons of sales, showing a 5% year-on-year and 7% month-on-month increase, driven by lower petrol and diesel prices.
Sales for the first nine months of FY2025 reached 11.77 million tons, marking a 4% rise compared to the same period in FY2024. Excluding Furnace Oil (FO), sales rose 5% year-on-year and 7% month-on-month.

Furnace Oil (FO) sales also surged by 22% year-on-year. High-Octane Blending Component (HOBC) sales hit an all-time high, driven by discounted prices and a lower Petroleum Development Levy (PDL).
Among the companies, Attock Petroleum (APL) saw a 2% rise in sales, while Pakistan State Oil (PSO) experienced a 14% year-on-year decline but a 9% month-on-month increase.
