The petrol price in Pakistan has been reduced by Rs. 1 per litre, while the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) has increased by Rs. 3.37 per litre under the latest government adjustment. Petrol will now cost Rs. 334.18 per litre, while diesel will be sold at Rs. 386.83 per litre from July 28, 2026.

The latest rates were revised by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) under the government’s current petroleum pricing mechanism.

New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan

The latest adjustment has produced mixed results for consumers, with petrol becoming slightly cheaper while diesel has become more expensive.

Fuel Previous Price New Price Change
Petrol Rs. 335.18/litre Rs. 334.18/litre -Rs. 1.00
High-Speed Diesel Rs. 383.46/litre Rs. 386.83/litre +Rs. 3.37

The revised rates are effective from July 28, 2026.

Petrol Price in Pakistan Today

The petrol price in Pakistan is now Rs. 334.18 per litre, down from Rs. 335.18.

This represents a reduction of just Rs. 1 per litre, meaning motorists will see only a small decrease in their fuel costs.

For example, filling a 40-litre tank at the new rate would cost approximately Rs. 13,367.20, before any station-specific considerations.

Diesel Price in Pakistan Today

The diesel price in Pakistan has increased by Rs. 3.37 per litre.

The new HSD price is Rs. 386.83 per litre, compared with the previous rate of Rs. 383.46.

Diesel is widely used by commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery and other heavy-duty equipment, so an increase in its price can have a broader effect on transportation and operating costs.

Why Did Petrol and Diesel Prices Change?

The latest fuel adjustment was made under the government’s revised petroleum pricing mechanism.

According to the Ministry of Energy, OGRA revised the ex-depot prices of petroleum products for the latest period. The government has moved toward a more frequent pricing system in which petroleum prices can be adjusted according to changes in international market conditions.

This means petrol and diesel prices can change more frequently than under the traditional fortnightly pricing system.

How Much Did Petrol Price Decrease?

The new petrol rate is Rs. 334.18 per litre, which is Rs. 1 lower than the previous price of Rs. 335.18.

The reduction is relatively small compared with the recent movements in petroleum prices.

Petrol Price Change

Old price: Rs. 335.18/litre
New price: Rs. 334.18/litre
Reduction: Rs. 1/litre

How Much Did Diesel Price Increase?

The HSD rate increased by Rs. 3.37 per litre.

Diesel Price Change

Old price: Rs. 383.46/litre
New price: Rs. 386.83/litre
Increase: Rs. 3.37/litre

The increase is considerably larger than the reduction in petrol prices.

Impact of Higher Diesel Prices

The diesel price in Pakistan is particularly important for the transportation and agricultural sectors because diesel-powered vehicles and machinery are widely used for commercial and industrial activities.

Higher diesel costs can increase operating expenses for:

  • Trucks and freight transport

  • Buses and commercial vehicles

  • Agricultural machinery

  • Construction equipment

  • Logistics companies

  • Goods transportation

Businesses may eventually pass some of these higher transportation costs on to consumers through increased prices for goods and services.

Impact on Petrol Consumers

Petrol users receive a small benefit from the latest adjustment.

The Rs. 1 per litre reduction means motorists will pay slightly less when refuelling their cars and motorcycles.

However, the impact on individual household budgets will remain limited because the decrease is relatively small.

For a motorcyclist buying 10 litres, the saving is only Rs. 10 compared with the previous rate.

Will Petrol and Diesel Prices Change Again?

Under the government’s current daily pricing mechanism, petroleum rates can be reviewed frequently based on market conditions.

This means the current petrol price today in Pakistan should not necessarily be considered fixed for an extended period.

Changes in international oil prices, import costs and other market factors can influence subsequent adjustments.

Consumers should therefore check the latest official notification when planning fuel purchases or calculating future transportation costs.
