The petrol price in Pakistan today has dropped by Rs 2.93 per litre while diesel has seen a slight increase, as OGRA announces revised fuel rates effective 13 October 2026. The new prices bring some relief at the pump for petrol users but a marginal pinch for diesel consumers.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has officially notified the following new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan effective from 13 October 2026:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 395.37 per litre | -Rs 2.93 |
| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 396.85 per litre | +Rs 0.61 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
The latest revision in OGRA fuel prices reflects the fortnightly review process that the regulator carries out based on movements in global crude oil prices and shifts in the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. International oil market trends directly feed into the pricing formula, meaning any dip in global prices can pass on savings to petrol consumers, while diesel pricing can move differently depending on specific product dynamics in the global market. OGRA adjusts these rates regularly to keep domestic fuel pricing aligned with international benchmarks.
What It Means for You
For everyday commuters who run petrol-powered cars and motorcycles, the Rs 2.93 per litre reduction from 13 October 2026 will offer a small but welcome saving on fill-ups. However, the Rs 0.61 per litre increase in High Speed Diesel means slightly higher running costs for trucks, buses, rickshaws, and agricultural machinery, which could nudge transport fares and the prices of goods moved by road. Keep an eye on your fuel receipts and budget accordingly as OGRA continues its regular review cycle.
