To address the problems created by rising fuel prices, Pakistan Railways has imposed a marginal rise in Pakistan Railways Fares for all mail and passenger trains, starting immediately.
The decision, announced in an official notification by the railway administration, comprises a modest two percent fare increase across all train routes. This approach is a proactive response to the recent increase in fuel costs in the country.
Recognizing the economic strain caused by the persistent rise in fuel prices, the administration underlined the importance of this fare modification in alleviating the railways’ financial difficulties. By employing this strategic initiative, Pakistan Railways hopes to retain operational efficiency while maintaining continuous service quality.

This decision comes shortly after the caretaker federal administration raised fuel and diesel prices. Petrol prices increased by Rs2.73 per liter the day before, reaching a new high of Rs275.62 per liter, while high-speed diesel prices rose by Rs8.37 per liter, to Rs288.33.
As Pakistan Railways adjusts to the changing economic landscape, passengers can expect a smooth continuance of services, supported by a dedication to affordability and sustainability.
