The federal government has increased petrol and high-speed diesel prices in Pakistan effective October 27, 2026, according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division.
Under the revised prices, petrol has become Rs1.54 per litre more expensive, while high-speed diesel has increased by Rs2.16 per litre.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has revised the ex-depot prices as follows:
| Petroleum Product | Previous Price | New Price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Motor Spirit) | Rs377.71 | Rs379.25 | Rs1.54 |
| High-Speed Diesel | Rs393.66 | Rs395.82 | Rs2.16 |
The new rates took effect on October 27, 2026. All prices are per litre.
Why Have Prices Increased?
According to the Petroleum Division, the price revision reflects changes in global market conditions, including Platts prices, premiums and other related costs.
Petrol is widely used by motorcycles, cars and other private vehicles, while diesel powers many buses, trucks, agricultural machines and commercial vehicles.
Higher fuel prices can increase travel and transport expenses and may add to the operating costs of businesses that depend on road transport.
