Third straight fuel hike: diesel jumps Rs6.72, petrol Rs3.4

The Petroleum Division under the Ministry of Energy has lifted ex-depot prices for high-speed diesel and petrol, as reported by Mettis Global. Diesel rises by Rs6.72 to Rs392.67 per litre, while petrol increases by Rs3.40 to Rs367.75 per litre. The new figures apply from September 10, 2026, and were set through a daily pricing mechanism.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) calculates and issues these rates on a daily basis under a pricing framework revised by the federal government. Before the change, diesel was priced at Rs385.95 per litre and petrol at Rs364.35 per litre, both for September 9, 2026.

Diesel recorded the larger increase of the two products, and both are priced under the same daily mechanism. Changes to these rates are closely followed by readers tracking oil and gas marketing companies.
