The petrol price in Pakistan today has dropped by Rs 3.63 per litre effective 16 October 2026, bringing some relief to consumers. At the same time, the diesel price in Pakistan has gone up slightly by Rs 0.31 per litre under the latest OGRA fuel prices notification.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
OGRA has officially announced the new petrol price and revised diesel rate for the next fortnightly period starting 16 October 2026. Here is the full breakdown:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 390.23 per litre | -Rs 3.63 |
| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 396.96 per litre | +Rs 0.31 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA reviews fuel prices on a fortnightly basis and adjusts them based on movements in global crude oil prices and the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When international oil prices fall, consumers typically see relief at the pump, as reflected in today’s petrol reduction. However, shifts in the exchange rate or changes in the cost of specific refined products like High Speed Diesel can push individual fuel types in the opposite direction, which explains the minor increase in the diesel price in Pakistan this fortnight.
What It Means for You
The drop in the new petrol price is good news for private car owners and motorcycle riders who will pay Rs 3.63 less per litre from 16 October 2026 onward. However, commuters and businesses that rely on goods transport should note that the slight rise in High Speed Diesel may lead to a marginal increase in freight and public transport costs. It is a small but real addition to operational expenses for truck and bus operators across the country.
