FAQs

1. Who will benefit from the fuel subsidy in Pakistan?

Motorcycle owners, rickshaw drivers, and low-income commuters are expected to benefit.

2. Why are petrol prices increasing in Pakistan?

Due to global oil supply disruptions, especially in the Middle East, and Pakistan’s reliance on imports.

3. When will the subsidy be implemented?

No official timeline yet, but announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

4. Is fuel supply secure in Pakistan?

Yes, current reserves are stable until mid-April 2026, according to officials.

5. Will electricity prices increase too?

Yes, LNG shortages may lead to higher electricity generation costs.

Final Verdict

Pakistan’s proposed fuel subsidy for bikes and rickshaws reflects a strategic shift toward targeted economic relief rather than broad-based subsidies. While it may not fully offset the global oil shock, it is a critical step in protecting the country’s mobility backbone.

The bigger challenge remains energy diversification and reducing dependence on imported fuel—something Pakistan must address to avoid recurring crises.

Do you think targeted fuel subsidies are enough, or should Pakistan move toward long-term EV solutions?
