Pakistan has sufficient petroleum stocks to meet current demand, officials said, as the government moved to strengthen oversight of the supply chain.
The update came on Monday during a meeting of the cabinet committee on petroleum pricing, chaired by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb.
Officials told the meeting that diesel reserves are sufficient for around 25 days, while crude oil stocks can meet demand for approximately 12 days. Petrol availability remains aligned with consumption levels.
The committee reviewed supply conditions following recent price adjustments and stressed the need to maintain uninterrupted supply, enforce market discipline, and enhance monitoring mechanisms.
Authorities said import arrangements for the coming weeks are in place through both commercial purchases and government-to-government agreements.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority was directed to improve coordination with oil marketing companies, while joint teams, including the Federal Investigation Agency and Pakistan State Oil will monitor selected petrol pumps in Islamabad.
Officials also warned against hoarding and artificial shortages, directing strict action to ensure market stability.
