Petrol price in Pakistan today has gone up as the government announced new OGRA fuel prices effective 26 August 2026. Both petrol and diesel have seen a small but notable increase compared to the previous fortnight.
New Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
The new petrol price and diesel price in Pakistan are now in effect. Here is a full breakdown of the latest OGRA fuel prices:
| Fuel | New Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (Super) | Rs 343.10 per litre | +Rs 1.12 |
| High Speed Diesel | Rs 371.80 per litre | +Rs 1.11 |
Why Did Fuel Prices Change?
OGRA reviews fuel prices on a fortnightly basis, adjusting rates based on global crude oil prices and the Pakistani rupee exchange rate. Any movement in international oil markets or a shift in the dollar-rupee parity directly feeds into the final pump price that consumers pay. This latest upward revision reflects those ongoing pressures in the global energy market.
What It Means for You
While the increase of just over one rupee per litre may look small on paper, it adds up quickly for daily commuters, rickshaw and taxi drivers, and businesses that rely on high speed diesel for transport and logistics. Households should expect a slight nudge in the cost of goods and public transport fares as the new diesel price in Pakistan filters through the supply chain. Filling a 40-litre tank will now cost roughly Rs 45 more for petrol users compared to the last fortnightly rate.
