Govt raises petrol price by Rs12.9 per litre, HSD by Rs3.72

Mettis Global reported that petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) will cost more from September 8, 2026, with petrol up Rs12.90 a litre and diesel up Rs3.72. The increases follow a revised fuel pricing framework issued by the federal government, and the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has updated the ex-depot rates accordingly. A press release from Islamabad states that the revised rates take effect on that date.

Under the latest revision, petrol moves up from Rs345.87 to Rs358.77 a litre, while HSD rises from Rs378.05 to Rs381.77 a litre. In rupee terms the petrol change is the larger of the two, at Rs12.90 against Rs3.72 for diesel. Oil and gas marketing and refining companies are the sectors most directly tied to these ex-depot rates, while the press release does not name any listed company.
