Petrol price rises Rs4.1, HSD jumps Rs6.4 from Sept 16

Mettis Global reported that the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division has revised ex-depot rates for fuel products, raising high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs6.41 per litre and petrol by Rs4.10 per litre. The new rates take effect on September 16, 2026, and the notice was issued on September 15.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority published the revised figures, which put HSD at Rs415.83 per litre compared with Rs409.42 previously. Petrol moved to Rs384.34 from Rs380.24 before the adjustment.

According to the report, the change stems from global developments, including shifts in Platts rates, premiums and incidental charges. Because the revised rates directly change fuel costs, the move is relevant to energy-linked stocks followed on the PSX.
