Fuel prices rise again: diesel up Rs5.37, petrol Rs3.05

Mettis Global reported that fuel prices have gone up again, with high-speed diesel rising by Rs5.37 per litre and petrol by Rs3.05 per litre. New ex-depot rates, announced by the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division, take effect on September 11, 2026. Diesel will now cost Rs398.04 per litre, up from Rs392.67, while petrol moves to Rs370.80 from Rs367.75.

The revision was made under a pricing framework issued by the federal government. Under that framework, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) calculates and notifies petroleum prices each day, with the previous rates dated September 10, 2026 and the new ones effective September 11, 2026.

The diesel increase is larger than the petrol increase in rupee terms, though both moved in the same direction. Both fuels are priced under the same daily process, and each notice reflects the rates applicable for that date.
