The federal government has increased petrol and high-speed diesel prices in Pakistan for October 27, 2026, adding to fuel costs for motorists and transport operators. Petrol has risen by Rs1.54 per litre, while diesel has become more expensive by Rs2.16 per litre, according to the latest government notification.
Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices
The revised rates effective from October 27 are as follows:
| Petroleum Product | Previous Price | New Price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Rs377.71 | Rs379.25 | Rs1.54 |
| High-speed diesel | Rs393.66 | Rs395.82 | Rs2.16 |
The adjustment follows an earlier revision under which diesel prices increased while petrol remained unchanged from October 24 to October 26.
Why Have Fuel Prices Increased?
Pakistan has introduced a daily petroleum pricing mechanism under which the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) reviews fuel prices using a rolling seven-day average of international petroleum prices. The system is intended to reflect changes in global markets more quickly.
International oil market volatility and tensions in the Middle East have raised concerns about energy supplies and shipping routes. Since Pakistan relies heavily on imported petroleum products, changes in international prices and import costs can affect domestic fuel rates.

Impact on Consumers and Transport Costs
The petrol price increase will add to expenses for motorcycle users, private car owners and other commuters. Higher diesel prices may also increase operating costs for buses, trucks and freight services, potentially putting additional pressure on the cost of transporting goods.
The government has also announced a fuel relief scheme for eligible owners of motorcycles, rickshaws and cars with engine capacities of up to 800cc. Eligible beneficiaries may receive a subsidy subject to the scheme’s conditions.
With the latest revision, consumers will pay more for both petrol and diesel. Further changes will depend on international petroleum prices and subsequent government notifications.
