MG Morning Breeze: Updates to Skim before Market

Mettis Global's morning roundup reports that the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division has revised ex-depot prices for petroleum products. High-speed diesel (HSD) goes up by Rs6.47 per litre, while motor spirit, commonly called petrol, rises by Rs5.77 per litre. Both changes take effect on August 18, 2026.

Both increases come from the same revision, and diesel carries the larger per-litre rise of the two. The digest does not list the resulting pump prices or the full product rate sheet.

Because the notice sets ex-depot prices for fuels, it bears directly on oil and gas marketing companies and the investors who follow that sector on the PSX. The digest carries no comment from the companies themselves on how the revision will affect their results.
