Petrol price in Pakistan today has dropped by Rs 3.93 per litre as OGRA announces its latest fortnightly fuel price revision effective 17 October 2026. Diesel prices, however, remain unchanged for this period.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan, as set under the latest OGRA fuel prices notification for 17 October 2026, are as follows:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 386.30 per litre | -Rs 3.93 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 396.96 per litre | No Change |
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. The cut in petrol prices for 17 October 2026 reflects a softer trend in international oil markets, which allowed the government to pass on some relief to consumers. Diesel price in Pakistan was left untouched this time, as benchmark diesel rates in the global market showed no significant movement to justify a revision.
What It Means for You
If you drive a petrol-powered car or motorbike, you will pay Rs 3.93 less per litre starting today, 17 October 2026, which adds up to a noticeable saving over a full tank. Commuters who rely on public transport may see a slight easing in fares over time, though transport operators typically link their rates more closely to diesel costs, which remain the same. Freight and goods transport costs are unlikely to change for now since high speed diesel is holding steady, meaning everyday grocery and food prices may not feel an immediate impact from this revision.
