The petrol price in Pakistan today has gone up by Rs 0.39 per litre, effective 25 August 2026. High Speed Diesel has seen a sharper increase of Rs 2.40 per litre under the latest OGRA fuel prices notification.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The government has announced the new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan for the current fortnight. Here is a full breakdown of the revised rates:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 341.98 per litre | +Rs 0.39 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 370.69 per litre | +Rs 2.40 |
These prices are effective from 25 August 2026 and apply across Pakistan.
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA fuel prices are revised on a fortnightly basis based on movements in global crude oil markets and fluctuations in the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. When international oil prices rise or the rupee weakens against the dollar, domestic fuel prices tend to follow. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority calculates these adjustments and forwards its recommendations to the government, which then issues the official notification. The diesel price in Pakistan has seen a larger increase this fortnight compared to petrol, reflecting shifts in the global diesel supply chain.
What It Means for You
For everyday Pakistanis, the increase in the new petrol price is relatively small and may have a limited direct impact on private vehicle running costs. However, the Rs 2.40 per litre rise in High Speed Diesel is more significant, as diesel powers trucks, buses, rickshaws, and agricultural machinery. This could nudge up transport fares and the cost of moving goods, which may gradually feed into the prices of food and other daily essentials. Consumers should expect minor pressure on their monthly budgets as the new rates take effect from 25 August 2026.
