Petrol price hiked by Rs3.40, HSD’s by Rs6.72

Business Recorder reported that the government raised petrol by Rs3.40 per litre to Rs367.75, up from Rs364.35, in its daily fuel price revision effective September 10, 2026. High-speed diesel (HSD) rose more sharply, by Rs6.72 to Rs392.67 per litre. Worldwide prices for refined products are still rising, which the report linked to escalating regional geopolitical tensions.

Ex-refinery import prices climbed by Rs3.40 for petrol to Rs257.30 per litre and by Rs6.72 for HSD to Rs285.80 per litre. The report also cited a seven-working-day rolling average of the Platts Arab Gulf Means Price, put at USD 118.18 per barrel for petrol and USD 106.22 per barrel for HSD on September 10. A Petroleum Division notification indicates no change to the levies and fixed margins on either fuel, including an Rs80 per litre Petroleum Levy and an Rs5 per litre Climate Support Levy.

Separately, crude and POL imports fell 11 percent year on year to 1.24 million tonnes in July 2026, mainly driven by a 35 percent drop in MS imports. No HSD or JP-1 imports were recorded, while refinery utilisation was higher.
