Petrol price in Pakistan today has gone up as the government has announced new OGRA fuel prices effective 21 October 2026. Both petrol and diesel have seen a slight increase in the latest fortnightly revision.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
Here is a full breakdown of the new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan as announced by OGRA for 21 October 2026:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 382.02 per litre | +Rs 0.88 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 389.80 per litre | +Rs 0.53 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA fuel prices are revised on a fortnightly basis and are tied to international crude oil rates and the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When global oil prices move up or the rupee weakens against the US dollar, local fuel prices tend to follow. The small increase seen in both the new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan on 21 October 2026 reflects these global and currency market movements that OGRA factors into its regular pricing formula.
What It Means for You
While the increase in petrol and diesel rates is modest this time, it still adds to the cost of daily travel and transport. Commuters, rickshaw drivers, and small business owners who rely on fuel every day will feel this at the pump. Goods transported by road may also see a small uptick in delivery costs, which can trickle down to everyday prices in the market. It is a good idea to plan fuel stops and budgets accordingly.
