The petrol price in Pakistan today has dropped by Rs 5.16 per litre, effective 20 October 2026. OGRA has also slashed diesel by Rs 7.69, giving some relief to commuters and businesses across the country.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The government has officially announced the new OGRA fuel prices for the next fortnight. Here is a full breakdown of the updated rates:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 381.14 per litre | -Rs 5.16 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 389.27 per litre | -Rs 7.69 |
Both the new petrol price and the diesel price in Pakistan are effective from 20 October 2026, following the latest OGRA fortnightly review.
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA fuel prices are revised on a fortnightly basis and are largely driven by movements in global crude oil markets and fluctuations in the Pakistan rupee exchange rate. When international oil prices soften or the rupee holds steady, OGRA can pass on the benefit to consumers through a reduction in local pump prices. This latest cut reflects a combination of both factors working in favour of Pakistani consumers.
What It Means for You
A drop of Rs 5.16 on petrol and Rs 7.69 on diesel is a welcome change for everyday Pakistanis. Rickshaw and taxi fares may ease slightly, and transport operators who rely heavily on High Speed Diesel, including trucks and buses, will see a noticeable cut in their running costs. Households should also expect a small reduction in the cost of goods that depend on road freight, helping to ease pressure on daily budgets even if only a little.
