Petrol price jumps Rs6.88, diesel Rs5.62 from Sept 17

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has raised the ex-depot prices of high-speed diesel and petrol, effective September 17, 2026. According to Mettis Global, diesel goes up by Rs5.62 per litre and petrol by Rs6.88 per litre. The revision comes as international crude and refined fuel prices stay high, which affects domestic rates.

Diesel will sell at Rs421.45 per litre from Rs415.83 previously, while petrol moves up to Rs391.22 from Rs384.34. Mettis Global noted that OGRA now sets these rates on a daily basis under the existing mechanism.

Platts rates, premium levels and other relevant factors were cited as the basis for the revised figures, according to the report. The increases cover both products in the same daily revision.
