HSD price rises Rs0.54, petrol drops Rs0.94

According to Mettis Global, the Petroleum Division of the Ministry of Energy has revised ex-depot prices for petroleum products, with the new rates applying from 13 August 2026. High Speed Diesel (HSD) went up by Rs0.54 per litre to Rs382.79, while Motor Spirit, or petrol, dropped by Rs0.94 per litre to Rs324.98.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) issued the revision under the federal government's petroleum pricing mechanism, which requires the regulator to compute and notify fuel prices every day. Against the rates recorded on 12 August 2026, diesel was Rs382.25 and petrol Rs325.92 per litre, so the day's changes moved the two fuels in opposite directions. Because the system runs on a daily basis, these figures reflect one day's revision and can change again with the next notification.
