The petrol price in Pakistan today has gone up by Rs 1.08 per litre, effective 02 September 2026. High Speed Diesel has also seen a small increase of Rs 0.51 per litre under the latest OGRA fuel prices notification.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced the new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan for the next fortnightly period starting 02 September 2026. Here is the full breakdown:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 343.87 per litre | +Rs 1.08 |
| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 370.92 per litre | +Rs 0.51 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA reviews fuel prices on a fortnightly basis, adjusting them based on movements in global crude oil prices and fluctuations in the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When international oil costs rise or the rupee weakens against the dollar, the new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan tend to move upward. This latest revision reflects those ongoing pressures in the global energy market, with OGRA passing through the calculated adjustments as per its standard pricing formula.
What It Means for You
For everyday Pakistanis, even a small increase in the petrol price and the diesel price in Pakistan adds up quickly. Commuters using private cars will pay slightly more at the pump from 02 September 2026, while the rise in High Speed Diesel is likely to push up transport and freight costs. This can have a ripple effect on the prices of groceries, goods, and public transport fares, putting a little more pressure on household budgets across the country.
