The petrol price in Pakistan today has been revised downward by Rs 1.60 per litre effective 23 October 2026, bringing some relief to consumers at the pump. However, the diesel price in Pakistan has moved in the opposite direction, climbing by Rs 1.64 per litre in the same fortnightly OGRA fuel prices announcement.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has officially notified the following new petrol price and diesel rates for the current fortnight starting 23 October 2026:
| Fuel | New Price (per litre) | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 377.71 | -Rs 1.60 |
| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 391.75 | +Rs 1.64 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA revises fuel prices on a fortnightly basis, and the latest adjustments reflect shifting conditions in the global crude oil market as well as fluctuations in the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When international oil prices dip, petrol rates at home can ease slightly, as seen in this round. Diesel, which tracks its own separate global benchmarks and import costs, moved higher this fortnight despite the petrol relief. These fortnightly OGRA fuel prices revisions are designed to keep domestic rates aligned with actual import costs rather than allowing large gaps to build up over time.
What It Means for You
For everyday commuters filling up their cars or motorbikes, the small drop in the new petrol price of Rs 1.60 per litre will offer a modest saving on each tank. However, the rise in the diesel price in Pakistan by Rs 1.64 per litre is likely to push up transport and freight costs, since trucks, buses, and heavy vehicles run on diesel. This can gradually feed into the prices of groceries and goods moving across the country, so households should keep an eye on their daily budgets over the coming weeks.
