Petrol price jumps Rs2.29, diesel up Rs1.11

Fuel prices are set to rise from September 3, 2026, after the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division revised ex-depot rates for two products. Diesel will be priced at Rs372.03 per litre, which is Rs1.11 more than the Rs370.92 recorded on September 2. Petrol goes up by Rs2.29 to Rs346.16 per litre, compared with Rs343.87 previously. Mettis Global reported the revision based on the official notification.

The revision follows a pricing framework set by the federal government, under which the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) works out and publishes rates each day. OGRA's notification for September 3 places both products above their September 2 levels. Because the regulator issues fresh figures daily under this framework, the prices are reset on every notification date.
