Due to falling prices in the global oil market petrol rates in Pakistan may decrease from 16 January 2026. Media and industry reports suggest that the price could fall by 7 to 10 rupees per litre. However this reduction has not yet been officially confirmed by the government or OGRA. Consumers are advised to wait for an official notification before assuming the new rates.
Current Petrol Prices in Pakistan
Currently petrol in Pakistan costs Rs 253.17 per litre. This price was set after a reduction of Rs 10.28 per litre effective from 1 January 2026. The current rates will remain in effect until 15 January 2026. The reduction was implemented based on international oil price trends and OGRA recommendations.
