Pakistan’s Brownfield Refining Policy aims to modernize existing refineries through a planned investment of approximately USD 6 billion. The upgrades target higher petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) output while reducing furnace oil production by 77.9%, shifting domestic refining toward higher value petroleum products.

Local refineries currently meet only 30% of petrol demand and 45% of HSD demand. Expanding domestic production can help reduce reliance on imported finished fuels, ease pressure on foreign exchange reserves, and strengthen energy security amid global oil market volatility.

According to Ministry of Energy estimates, the policy projects annual foreign exchange savings of around USD 1 billion. However, the net external balance impact will depend on timely policy ex*****on, realized production gains, domestic demand growth, and international crude oil prices.

Local refineries are strategically vital to Pakistan’s energy security, industrial development, and external account stability. By guaranteeing a reliable domestic supply of petroleum products, local refining cushions the economy against international supply chain shocks and reduces long term reliance on imported fuels.

Energy imports remain the heaviest drain on foreign exchange reserves. Pakistan’s selected petroleum imports reached USD 1.47 billion in August 2026 alone (PBS), led by USD 723.3 million in crude oil and USD 478.2 million in refined products, alongside USD 272.6 million in LNG and LPG.

Furthermore, local refining maximizes the value of domestically produced crude oil and eases operational pressure on port infrastructure. Unlocking these savings will require targeted policy incentives, operational efficiency, and competitive financing for world scale infrastructure.
