Petrol price up by Rs1.12, HSD’s by Rs1.11

Business Recorder reported that OGRA has raised ex-depot rates for petrol by Rs1.12 and high-speed diesel by Rs1.11 per litre, effective for August 26 and 27. The move follows a rise in global oil prices. Under the new schedule, petrol is set at Rs343.10 a litre, up from Rs341.98, while HSD is priced at Rs371.80 a litre.

The authority will now update prices daily on its website, a step it says is meant to improve transparency and pass international oil price changes to consumers faster. Dealer margins stay at Rs9.98 per litre for both products, while the petroleum levy is Rs80 per litre on each. Customs duty is Rs20.65 per litre on petrol and Rs15.68 on HSD, and the Climate Support Levy remains at Rs5 per litre.
