The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has reduced the petrol price in Pakistan by Rs1.60 per litre while increasing the price of high-speed diesel by Rs1.64 per litre. The revised rates will take effect on October 23, 2026, according to a notification reported by ARY News.
Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices in Pakistan
Under the latest adjustment, petrol will cost Rs377.71 per litre, while high-speed diesel will be priced at Rs391.75 per litre.
| Fuel Type | Price Change | New Price per Litre |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | Reduced by Rs1.60 | Rs377.71 |
| High-speed diesel | Increased by Rs1.64 | Rs391.75 |
The petrol price reduction may provide some relief to motorists, while the increase in diesel prices could add to operating costs for transporters and businesses that rely on diesel-powered vehicles.
Petrol Relief Scheme for Eligible Vehicle Owners
The government’s Petrol Relief Scheme offers eligible motorcycle and Qingqi rickshaw owners a discount of Rs100 per litre on up to 20 litres of petrol per month. Owners of vehicles with engine capacities of up to 800cc may qualify for the discount on up to 30 litres monthly.

Why Are Fuel Prices Changing?
Pakistan has adopted a daily fuel-pricing mechanism under which OGRA calculates prices using a rolling seven-day average of international petroleum prices. The system is intended to reflect global market movements more quickly.
Changes in international oil prices, import costs and other pricing components can affect domestic petrol and diesel rates. The latest adjustment lowers petrol costs but raises diesel prices, creating different effects for motorists and the transport sector.
