The federal government has increased the price of petrol by Rs. 2.02 per litre, pushing the latest petrol price in Pakistan closer to the Rs. 400 mark.
Under the latest petroleum price revision, motor spirit, commonly known as petrol, will now be available at Rs. 391.30 per litre. The revised rate took effect on September 26 and will remain applicable through September 28, 2026.
The increase comes as fuel prices continue to be adjusted frequently under the government’s current pricing mechanism. The latest revision has created a mixed impact for consumers, as petrol has become more expensive while the price of high-speed diesel has been reduced.
High-speed diesel has been cut by Rs. 3.59 per litre. Following the reduction, the new diesel price stands at Rs. 408.53 per litre.
The previous petrol price was Rs. 389.28 per litre. After the latest increase, consumers will have to pay Rs. 391.30 for every litre, representing a Rs. 2.02 rise.
For diesel users, the previous rate was Rs. 412.12 per litre. The latest reduction brings the price down to Rs. 408.53 per litre.
The latest figures mean petrol is now only around Rs. 8.70 below the Rs. 400 per litre level. The change is particularly relevant for motorists, transport operators and businesses that depend heavily on fuel for daily operations.
Petrol prices have remained volatile in Pakistan in recent weeks, with several revisions recorded during September. The frequent changes have reflected movements in international oil markets and the government’s fuel pricing mechanism.
The latest adjustment was issued following the petroleum price review, with the revised rates covering a three-day period from September 26 to September 28. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority maintains a dedicated publication system for petroleum price updates and related pricing information.
The increase in petrol prices could affect household transportation expenses, particularly for people who use motorcycles and cars for regular commuting. Higher fuel costs can also add pressure to operating expenses for businesses that rely on road transportation.
At the same time, the reduction in high-speed diesel prices provides some relief to diesel-dependent consumers. Diesel is widely used in commercial vehicles, buses, trucks, agricultural machinery and other heavy-duty operations.
With petrol now priced at Rs. 391.30 per litre, motorists are likely to keep a close watch on the next petroleum price review. Any further movement in international oil prices, exchange rates or related pricing factors could influence future fuel rates.
For now, the latest petrol price in Pakistan is Rs. 391.30 per litre, while high-speed diesel is priced at Rs. 408.53 per litre. The revised rates are scheduled to remain in effect until September 28, unless another government decision changes the prices earlier.
