Petrol price rises Rs1.82, HSD falls Rs0.91 from Oct 8

Petrol prices will rise by Rs1.82 per litre from October 8, 2026, while high-speed diesel (HSD) will fall by Rs0.91 per litre, according to Mettis Link News. The Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division revised the ex-depot rates, and the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) carried out the changes under the mechanism set by the federal government for fuel pricing. Petrol now stands at Rs396.65 per litre, up from Rs394.83, while diesel has dropped to Rs394.94 from Rs395.85.

The report links the revision to international developments, among them movements in Platts rates and changes in premiums and incidentals. Because both fuels were revised for the same date, petrol buyers face a higher cost while diesel becomes cheaper. The petrol increase of Rs1.82 is twice the size of the Rs0.91 diesel cut.
