Petrol climbs Rs1.08, diesel price up Rs0.51

Mettis Global reported that petrol and high-speed diesel will cost more from September 2, 2026. Petrol goes up by Rs1.08 per litre and diesel by Rs0.51 per litre, following a revision announced by the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division. The change was made under a revised pricing formula that the federal government introduced.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) applied the formula to set fresh ex-depot rates for September 2. High-speed diesel rises from Rs370.41 to Rs370.92, while petrol moves from Rs342.79 to Rs343.87, both measured against the September 1 notice. OGRA calculates and publishes these figures every day under the present system.

Both products rise on the same day, and the revised rates take effect from September 2, 2026 under the notified schedule. For readers tracking fuel costs, the notice gives the exact previous and new figures for each product.
