Petrol price cut by 84 paise, HSD’s by Rs2.63

Business Recorder reported that the government has cut petrol's ex-depot price by 84 paise per litre, lowering it to Rs389.28 from Rs390.12. High Speed Diesel, or HSD, is down Rs2.63 per litre at Rs412.12, and both revised rates apply from September 25, 2026.

The Petroleum Division said the adjustment follows an OGRA calculation, based on a rolling average of the last seven working days of daily Platts Arab Gulf prices. Over that window, the average petrol benchmark slipped to USD 130.73 per barrel from USD 131.20 on September 24, while diesel fell to USD 117.44 from USD 118.94.

A Petroleum Division notification notes that levies and fixed margins stayed the same for both fuels, with the movement recorded in import costs. Petrol's import cost dropped to Rs278.72 per litre from Rs279.56, while HSD's fell to Rs305.21 from Rs307.84. Both fuels carry Rs80 per litre under the Petroleum Levy and Rs5 per litre under the Climate Support Levy, along with margins of Rs9.98 for dealers and Rs7.87 for oil marketing firms.
