Diesel price rises Rs3.74, petrol falls Rs3.13 per litre

Business Recorder reported that petrol prices will fall while diesel rates rise from Saturday, September 5, 2026. The federal government cut petrol by Rs3.13 per litre, bringing it from Rs349.00 down to Rs345.87. High speed diesel (HSD) climbed Rs3.74, moving from Rs374.31 up to Rs378.05 a litre.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) revised ex-depot prices on Friday under a notification from the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division. The new rates will hold until Monday, as the government keeps adjusting fuel prices using overseas oil markets and other cost drivers. Earlier, on Thursday, petrol rose Rs2.84 a litre and diesel climbed Rs2.28 a litre.

Petrol and diesel therefore move in opposite directions under the same notification, with diesel now priced at Rs378.05 and petrol at Rs345.87 per litre. The revised figures apply only until Monday, so the next ex-depot review will set the rates that follow.
