Petrol price in Pakistan today has gone up by Rs 1.82 per litre effective 08 October 2026, as the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) announces its latest fortnightly fuel price revision. At the same time, the diesel price in Pakistan has seen a slight dip, offering some relief to heavy transport and freight operators.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
OGRA fuel prices effective 08 October 2026 are as follows:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 396.65 per litre | +Rs 1.82 |
| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 394.94 per litre | -Rs 0.91 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA carries out fortnightly fuel price reviews based on movements in global crude oil markets and shifts in the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When international oil prices rise or the rupee weakens against the dollar, the new petrol price tends to go up, while a drop in crude costs or a stronger rupee can bring diesel price in Pakistan down. This round reflects exactly that split trend, with petrol costs nudging higher while high speed diesel edges slightly lower under the latest OGRA fuel prices calculation.
What It Means for You
For everyday commuters relying on petrol-powered cars and motorcycles, filling up will cost a little more starting 08 October 2026. Rickshaw and taxi fares could see minor upward pressure as drivers adjust to the higher petrol rate. On the other hand, the small decrease in diesel should offer modest savings for truck owners, bus operators, and farmers running diesel-powered machinery, which may help keep the cost of transported goods and agricultural produce slightly in check over the coming two weeks.
