New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
Fuel rates from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority officially change starting 28 October 2026. The complete schedule for petrol and diesel costs across Pakistan shows:
- Petrol (Super): Rs 376.06 per litre (-Rs 3.19)
- High Speed Diesel: Rs 398.07 per litre (+Rs 2.25)
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
The regulatory authority evaluates fuel rates every two weeks based on global crude oil values and currency exchange rates for the Pakistani rupee. A dip in international crude or a stronger rupee usually lowers petrol costs, explaining the current reduction. Diesel follows a distinct pricing benchmark that shifts independently according to regional supply factors and import expenses. These regular updates ensure local pump rates reflect genuine market expenses.
What It Means for You
Motorcycle and private vehicle operators benefit from minor savings when refueling from 28 October 2026 forward due to the petrol reduction. Conversely, the higher cost of diesel increases operational expenses for buses, trucks, and rickshaws, potentially translating to increased passenger fares and commodity prices. Individuals depending on freight shipments or public transit should anticipate slight cost increases soon.
