Petrol price rises Rs3.34, HSD jumps Rs5.27 per litre

Mettis Link News reported that petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) prices will go up from August 19, 2026, after the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division revised ex-depot rates. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) notified the new figures, with petrol rising Rs3.34 per litre and HSD increasing Rs5.27 per litre. The revision was made under a revised pricing mechanism issued by the federal government.

Under the current system, OGRA sets fuel rates each day, so these figures reflect the latest revision. Petrol moved from Rs331.20 on August 18, 2026 to Rs334.54, while HSD rose from Rs390.42 to Rs395.69. Mettis Link News presented the previous and new prices side by side in a comparison table.
