Petrol price up by Re45, HSD’s by Rs1.16

Ogra has revised the ex-depot rates for petrol and high speed diesel effective August 14, with both fuels rising slightly. According to a notification from the Petroleum Division, diesel went up by Rs1.16 per litre, moving from Rs382.79 to Rs383.95 per litre. Petrol increased by Rs0.45 per litre, reaching Rs325.43 from Rs324.98, as reported by Business Recorder.

The petroleum levy on petrol is unchanged at Rs80 per litre, while the climate support levy stays at Rs5 per litre. Diesel carries a petroleum levy of Rs78.28 per litre. Customs duty stands at Rs21 per litre on petrol and Rs15.68 per litre on diesel.

Under the daily framework, Ogra changes rates in line with exchange rate movements and a moving average of Singapore Platts trends over the past seven days. The latest revision therefore reflects both currency movements and Singapore Platts trends.
