Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan Today
The latest fuel prices are:
| Fuel | Price per Litre |
|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs335.18 |
| High-Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs383.46 |
These rates remain applicable on July 26 and July 27 following the latest government notification.
Why Are Petrol Prices Unchanged?
The Petroleum Division said the prices were being carried forward because Platts prices were not published over the weekend. Pakistan's petroleum pricing mechanism uses international market price information as part of the process for determining local fuel prices.
As a result, consumers will not see another change in petrol or diesel prices on Sunday or Monday under the current notification.
Petrol Price Increased Before the Weekend
The unchanged rates follow an increase announced for July 25.
Petrol was raised by Rs3.66 per litre, increasing from Rs331.52 to Rs335.18. Meanwhile, the price of high-speed diesel increased by Rs4.80 per litre, moving from Rs378.66 to Rs383.46.
| Product | Previous Price | Current Price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs331.52 | Rs335.18 | Rs3.66 |
| HSD | Rs378.66 | Rs383.46 | Rs4.80 |
Therefore, the latest development is not a fresh freeze after the previous rates; rather, the July 25 increased rates are being maintained for July 26–27.
How Will the Fuel Prices Affect Consumers?
The unchanged rates mean motorists will continue paying Rs335.18 per litre for petrol and Rs383.46 per litre for HSD during the two-day period.
Petrol prices directly affect the daily transportation costs of car and motorcycle owners. HSD prices are particularly relevant for commercial transport, buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and other diesel-powered operations.
Any future increase or decrease in fuel prices can also affect transportation and logistics costs, which may eventually influence the prices of goods and services.
When Will Petrol Prices Change Again?
The next fuel-price update will depend on the government's pricing mechanism and the availability of relevant international market data.
For now, the notified rates of Rs335.18 per litre for petrol and Rs383.46 per litre for HSD will remain in place through July 27.
