The petrol price in Pakistan today has gone up by Rs 2.97 per litre while diesel has seen a massive cut of Rs 32.63, under the latest OGRA fuel prices effective from 20 August 2026. The revision brings some relief for diesel users but adds a small burden for petrol consumers.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
Here is a full breakdown of the new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan announced by OGRA:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 337.51 per litre | +Rs 2.97 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 363.06 per litre | -Rs 32.63 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA fuel prices are revised on a fortnightly or daily basis depending on movements in global crude oil markets and the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When international oil prices fall or the rupee strengthens, OGRA passes on the benefit through price cuts, as seen with diesel this time. A slight uptick in petrol-related costs on the global market has resulted in the small increase on the new petrol price side.
What It Means for You
The sharp drop in the diesel price in Pakistan is good news for truck and bus operators, farmers running tube wells, and the broader supply chain, which could ease pressure on food and goods transport costs. Petrol users, including motorcyclists and car owners, will feel a minor pinch of Rs 2.97 per litre at the pump, which adds a small amount to weekly fuel budgets but is unlikely to cause major disruption to daily commutes.
