Oil marketing companies (OMCs) recorded total sales of 1.5 million tons in October, a volume that remained nearly unchanged year-on-year. However, on a month-on-month basis, sales increased by 9 percent, mainly due to higher diesel consumption during the crop harvesting season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a report published in Dawn, Topline Securities analyst Maisa Sohail stated that the monthly increase was driven by a recovery in the demand for high-speed diesel (HSD), following the receding monsoon rains and floods across various parts of the country.<\/p>\n

In the first four months of FY2026, total OMC sales reached 5.4 million tons, reflecting a 4 percent increase compared to 5.2 million tons during the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Petrol sales in October declined by 2 percent year-on-year and 4 percent month-on-month, reaching 657,000 tons. However, during the initial four months of FY2026, total petrol sales increased by 4 percent to 2.628 million tons.<\/p>\n

High-speed diesel sales in October rose by 4 percent year-on-year and 21 percent month-on-month, reaching 714,000 tons. Between July and October, total diesel consumption climbed to 2.336 million tons, marking an 11 percent rise compared to the previous financial year.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, furnace oil sales fell sharply by 52 percent year-on-year in October, dropping to just 28,000 tons. Despite this decline, monthly sales surged by 108 percent due to temporary demand from power-generating companies. In the first four months of FY2026, furnace oil sales totaled 75,000 tons\u2014a steep 72 percent decline from last year.<\/p>\n

Major sellers of furnace oil in October included Cynergy, Pakistan State Oil (PSO), and Pearl Parco.<\/p>\n

According to Maisa Sohail, overall oil sales are expected to grow by 7 to 10 percent in FY2026, driven by improved economic activity, increased transportation needs, and stronger agricultural output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
