Islamabad: Pakistan’s petroleum products imports declined by 7% year-on-year in the first quarter of FY2026 (July-September), costing $3.775 billion compared to $4.050 billion in the same period last year, according to data from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), OICCI, and other sources.
In September alone, imports stood at $1.236 billion, down 10.9% from $1.387 billion in September 2024 but up 3.6% from August 2025’s $1.193 billion.
Crude oil imports remained steady at $1.430 billion, with volumes rising 17.1% to 2.5238 million tons from 2.154 million tons last year.
LNG imports jumped 30% to $1.025 billion from $715 million, while LPG imports edged up 2% to $240 million from $235 million.
The drop in petroleum products reflects lower global prices and higher local refining, though overall energy imports remain a strain on forex reserves.
