MG Morning Breeze: Updates to Skim before Market

Petrol goes up by Rs4.61 per litre while high-speed diesel (HSD) comes down by Rs1.96 per litre, after the Petroleum Division of the Ministry of Energy revised ex-depot prices. The new rates take effect on September 22, 2026, according to Mettis Global, which carried the update in its morning digest.

The notice covers petroleum products together, so petrol and diesel move in opposite directions on the same date. Within the same digest, an Attock Refinery Limited (ATRL) story points to recovering capacity utilization and product yields, as the sector works to narrow the gap between domestic output and fuel demand.

Other items in the digest cover fertilizer offtake, power output and gold prices, which are separate from the fuel revision. Readers tracking energy stocks will find the fuel price change the most direct item for that sector.
