Petrol price in Pakistan today, 18 September 2026, has seen a small relief as OGRA cuts petrol by Rs 0.43 per litre. However, diesel users will feel a pinch as high-speed diesel jumps by Rs 3.47 per litre in the latest fortnightly revision.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan are now officially in effect from 18 September 2026. Here is a full breakdown of the OGRA fuel prices announced for this period:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 390.79 per litre | -Rs 0.43 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 424.92 per litre | +Rs 3.47 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA revises fuel prices on a fortnightly basis, taking into account global crude oil market movements, the Pakistani rupee exchange rate against the US dollar, and import costs. When international oil prices shift or the rupee weakens, those changes flow directly into what consumers pay at the pump. The petrol price in Pakistan today reflects a slight easing in petrol costs, while the diesel price in Pakistan has risen due to separate pricing pressures on high-speed diesel in global markets.
What It Means for You
For everyday commuters running petrol cars or motorcycles, the Rs 0.43 per litre cut offers minor savings at the pump. However, the Rs 3.47 per litre increase in high-speed diesel will directly affect transporters, rickshaws, trucks, and buses that run on diesel, which could push up fares and the cost of goods transported across Pakistan. Households should expect a small uptick in prices of daily essentials over the coming days as the higher diesel cost works its way through the supply chain.
