Petrol price hiked by Rs3.05, HSD’s by Rs5.37

Business Recorder reported that the government raised the ex-depot price of petrol by Rs3.05 to Rs370.80 a litre in its daily fuel price revision on Thursday. High-speed diesel (HSD) rose more, by Rs5.37 to Rs398.04 a litre, and the new rates apply from September 11, 2026.

Global prices for refined products kept climbing as geopolitical tensions in the region intensified. OGRA sets the daily figures using a seven working day rolling average of the Platts Arab Gulf Means Price. To ease the public burden, the government has sought three days from Jamat-e-Islami to consider a cut in the petroleum levy, and JI Naib Emir Liaqat Baloch confirmed on Thursday that the party had been asked to hold its long march announcement until Monday.

A Petroleum Division notification shows that levies and fixed margins are unchanged for both fuels. The Petroleum Levy stays at Rs80 per litre and the Climate Support Levy at Rs5 per litre, while dealers and oil marketing companies keep margins of Rs9.98 and Rs7.87 per litre. Business Recorder also reported that Pakistan's crude and POL imports fell 11 percent year on year to 1.24 million tons in July 2026.
