Petrol price rises by Rs0.27, diesel by Rs1.64

According to Mettis Global, the Petroleum Division under the Ministry of Energy has announced higher fuel rates for Pakistan, effective from August 21, 2026. High-Speed Diesel (HSD) goes up by Rs1.64 per litre, while petrol rises by Rs0.27 per litre. The revision follows the federal government's updated petroleum pricing mechanism.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) worked out the new rates, lifting diesel from Rs363.05 to Rs364.70 per litre and petrol from Rs337.51 to Rs337.78. Under the current framework, the regulator sets these figures every day. The comparison is with the rates in force on 20.08.2026.

Both products are covered by the same revision, so the change applies to every fuel rate OGRA notified for the date. Daily notifications mean the pricing picture can shift from one day to the next.
