Islamabad, March 15, 2025 – Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced today that fuel prices will remain unchanged, a decision aimed at providing relief to citizens grappling with high electricity tariffs. The move comes as part of the government’s efforts to stabilize the economy and mitigate the financial strain on households amidst rising energy costs.
In a statement, the Prime Minister emphasized that maintaining current fuel rates would help cushion the impact of electricity bills, which have surged due to global energy market fluctuations. “We are committed to supporting the public by keeping fuel prices steady, ensuring that the burden of rising costs does not overwhelm our people,” PM Shahbaz said.

The decision has been met with mixed reactions. While some citizens welcomed the relief, others expressed concerns that more comprehensive measures are needed to address the root causes of escalating electricity tariffs. Economic analysts suggest that this step could provide short-term respite but urged the government to focus on long-term energy reforms.
The announcement follows recent discussions within the cabinet on balancing fiscal policies with public welfare. Further details on the government’s energy strategy are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
