New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The latest tariffs from OGRA took formal effect on 29 October 2026. The updated rates include:
- Petrol (Super): Rs 377.91 per litre (+Rs 1.85)
- High Speed Diesel: Rs 399.82 per litre (+Rs 1.75)
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
Every two weeks, authorities adjust rates based on shifts in international crude oil markets and currency exchange values for the Pakistani rupee. When global petroleum markets climb or the local currency loses strength against the dollar, import expenses grow and authorities transfer those charges to buyers. This adjustment captures current international and domestic economic conditions.
What It Means for You
Higher fuel tariffs immediately impact daily routines. Passengers can expect elevated rates for rickshaws, taxis, and ride-hailing services, whereas bus and freight companies dealing with steeper diesel expenses may transfer those costs onto shipping and passenger fees. Household budgets must now absorb these extra expenses starting 29 October 2026.
