The Government of Pakistan has announced a major step to enhance fuel transportation efficiency. It has increased the share of Motor Spirit (MOGAS) transported via the White Oil Pipeline (WOP) from 50% to 60%, effective October 1, 2025.
The Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) shared this decision through an official letter issued to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). The letter refers to earlier communications from PAPCO and OGRA regarding the gradual transition plan for pipeline transportation.
According to the letter, the decision came after careful consultation with stakeholders. The shift aims to make fuel transportation more reliable, cost-efficient, and secure. By increasing the pipeline share, the government seeks to reduce pressure on road transport networks while improving supply chain efficiency.
Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) has instructed OGRA to issue directives to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for immediate compliance. Moreover, the regulator must coordinate with road transporters and contractors to ensure smooth implementation of the revised transportation mix.
The Competent Authority has approved the directive, signaling a firm policy shift toward modernizing Pakistan’s fuel and MOGAS logistics infrastructure. This move is expected to support better supply management, lower operational costs, and minimize potential delays in upcountry fuel delivery.
