Petrol price edges up Rs0.39, diesel rises Rs2.40

Mettis Global reported that petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan went up from August 25, 2026. Petrol (MS) rose by Rs0.39 per litre to Rs341.98, while diesel climbed Rs2.40 per litre to Rs370.69. The revised ex-depot rates were set through the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority calculated the new prices under a revised mechanism introduced by the Federal Government. Under that system, fuel rates are computed and notified every day. Before the change, petrol stood at Rs341.59 per litre and diesel at Rs368.29 per litre.

Diesel posted the bigger of the two increases, and both revisions apply to the same daily pricing cycle. Because the changes cover both fuels, oil and gas marketing companies and refineries are the sectors most directly affected.
