Petrol price rises Rs1.12, diesel up Rs1.11

Mettis Global reported that petrol and diesel prices are going up in Pakistan, based on a revision issued by the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division. Petrol now costs Rs1.12 more per litre and diesel Rs1.11 more, with the new rates valid from August 26 to August 27, 2026.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority, working under a revised pricing mechanism set by the federal government, put the new ex-depot rates at Rs343.10 for petrol and Rs371.80 for diesel. Those figures compare with Rs341.98 and Rs370.69 recorded on August 25, 2026, and OGRA recalculates fuel prices every day under the current framework.

The notice sets fuel rates for the stated period, giving consumers a fresh reference point. For investors, a pricing system that resets every day means fuel costs can shift quickly, which matters for energy-sector stocks.
