Petrol price rises Rs0.45, HSD up Rs1.16

Mettis Global reported that petroleum product prices will rise from August 14, 2026, with high speed diesel (HSD) going up by Rs1.16 per litre and motor spirit (petrol) by Rs0.45 per litre. The revised ex-depot rates follow a decision by the federal government, which acted on a recommendation from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).

The revised ex-depot price of petrol is Rs325.43 per litre, up from Rs324.98 on August 13, while HSD has moved to Rs383.95 from Rs382.79. Under the mechanism now in place, the regulator calculates and issues fuel rates each day.

Both fuels were covered by the same notification, and the diesel increase is larger in rupee terms at Rs1.16 per litre against Rs0.45 for petrol. The notice sets out the previous and new prices for each product side by side, which makes the change for each fuel easy to compare.
